School-aged children approved under the Welcome Stamp program do not require a separate Student Visa application.

Pet parents can also bring their pets, in accordance with US and Barbados rules and regulations for travel with an animal into the country.

Applications for the 12-Month Barbados Welcome Stamp are typically approved within 7 business days of submission. Individuals will pay a visa fee of $2,000 USD while families benefit from a bundled fee of $3,000 USD.

The country declared independence from Britain on November 30, 1966, but continued to recognize Queen Elizabeth as its ceremonial head of state until last year. During the ceremony, Barbados officially became a republic and appointed its first president, Sandra Mason. Barbadian pop star and beauty billionaire Rihanna was also declared a national hero.
