Worth knowing

  • An entry visa does not guarantee entry. The immigration officer at the port of entry decides.
  • Barbados says its entry visa process is now fully online. Apply and pay through the Immigration Department's own portal.

How long it takes

The department does not give updates while an application is processed. Apply before booking travel.
