Frequently asked questions
What is the income requirement?
Barbados requires evidence that you earn income from outside Barbados. There is no published minimum income figure, but you must demonstrate sufficient funds to support yourself and any dependants during the 12-month stay.
Is there a tax on my income in Barbados?
Barbados does not currently tax the foreign-sourced income of Welcome Stamp holders under its current rules. You remain responsible for taxes in your home country. We do not provide tax advice.
Can I bring family?
Yes. A family Welcome Stamp ($3,000) covers a couple or a family with children. Children under 18 accompanying a Welcome Stamp holder can attend school in Barbados.
