About this Visa
The Barbados Welcome Stamp is a visa for remote workers and digital nomads. You get this visa if you work for companies or clients outside Barbados and earn money from that work. This visa lets you live in Barbados for one year while working remotely. You don't need to find a job in Barbados. You can keep working for your overseas employer or clients the whole time you're there. It's popular because Barbados has no income tax on money you earn outside the country. Plus, you can bring your family and enjoy Caribbean island living.
