12-Month Barbados Welcome Stamp
Digital nomad

Barbados Immigrant Status
General residence
If you want to settle in Barbados long term, immigrant status is the route that gives you the right to live there on a lasting basis, usually after qualifying residence or through a close Barbadian connection.
Special Entry and Reside Permit (SERP)
General residence
If you are a high-net-worth individual who wants the right to live in Barbados, the Special Entry and Reside Permit (SERP) is the long-stay permit built around significant means or investment in the island.
Barbados Work Permit
Sponsored work
If a Barbadian employer wants to hire you, this is the permit that lets you work for them legally. It is employer-tied, so it starts with a job offer, not a personal application.
