Yes. You do need a visa to work in Barbados. In limited instances, individuals who have special skills which are in short supply in Barbados may be granted a work permit for a specific post if there is no qualified Barbadian available for the post. Applications for work permits in these cases are processed by the employer and not the prospective employee.
Non-national participation in the retail sector is not encouraged, and similarly in the tourism sector every effort is made to restrict the operation of tourism ancillary services (restaurants, bars, ground transportation, water sports, etc.) to Barbadian nationals, except in cases where the operation is unique and the expertise is unavailable locally, or where the operation is likely to make a significant contribution to the local tourist product.
The application fee for a work permit is US$300.00. The cost upon granting of permission to ‘reside and work’ in Barbados is US$1,000.00.
