Was there last week and some of the food prices were astronomical. Ridiculously high. I'd for sure only buy meat and cook my home grown veg. I can live without sodas, sweets etc.
Thank you for this video! My welcome stamp was approved and I am slated to make my move from the States in January so this was very insightful and has caused me to take a few more things into consideration🖤
I am from Jamaica I am here almost 4 years now I got my residency in less than 6 months through the CSME ( Caribbean single market Economy) but first thing before come here have a good skill first lol I visited couple other Caribbean countries and barbados is the most expensive
Hi Jamie, for those with the Caricom skills certificate and who may have found a job in Barbados. How does it work in terms of using the certificate and being able to begin work also. Also, any advise in leasing/buying an affordable vehicle, what companies are the best one to do this with?
Hey Melissa, when I moved, even tho I had a skills certificate from Belize I still had to apply for one through the Barbados Accreditation Council. It took about 8 weeks, costs $100 and you’ll need a police report. After you get the certificate, you take it to immigration and they put a stamp in your passport which allows you to be a resident. In terms of getting a car, I don’t know of any leasing company, I’d say check Facebook to buy a car and get financing. Signia and Capita are great financing options. I hope this helps!
@@jamierocke thank you for your response. So would I be able to work on my original skills certificate until I get the one from the Barbados Accreditation Council or do I have to wait the 8 weeks until I get the one from BAC to be able to work?
😂 I’m planning on making a “part two” sharing tips to know for when you get here. Let me know what information you need and I’ll include it in the video. All the best with your move!
@@Osamagbon-ru9dt Barbados is wonderful. Great beaches , nice people and a great culture. You must go to the fish fry at Oistins on Friday nights , check out Harrison’s cave and go to the beaches on the west coast. Great shopping in town in Bridge town , Warren’s and even in Speights town. You will have a great time ! Love my mother country.
Thank you for the information! My husband and I are going to Barbados via the welcome visa this month. Wondering if we want to stay for another year and apply for the welcome visa again, do we need to pay tax? As I know the welcome visa doesn't require tax liability.
You’re welcome! Great question. If you reapply for the welcome stamp and it’s approved you won’t have to pay taxes. If you stay here on a work visa, then I think that’s when the need to pay taxes kick in. Hope this helps!
I should have been there by now! The plan was to sell up in the UK and move to Barbados around July this year (I got my citizenship last year). But, COVID hit literally the week my house went on the market!! 😢 But, it’s sold now and should be completed in a few months!! 👍🏽 So, I’m currently looking for a place to buy in St. James and hopefully I’ll be settled in by the end of the year!!
@@michellecox1838 - Yes. Been here for two weeks now. Got a car, found a house and now I’m just waiting for the sale to go through! Life is good!! How are things with you?
@@suni9625 Hi, it’s going well and I’m loving it! The cost of living is pretty high. I can’t believe the prices of some of the groceries in places like Massy and eating out. But, I suppose every country has its pros & cons
Just found you and looking forward to seeing more. Hope you do some outside as well so we in cold countries can soak in some of that Caribbean sunshine 🌞
Not sure where you heard that, but for sure you’d be welcomed. I think Bajans are just always curious about “foreigners” in general. I went for university when I was 19, and I was fine. Good luck 🙂
My husband and I are separated due to him be deported. I’m trying to get a job with the U.S. Embassy hopefully I can get it. This helped a lot thank you. Hopefully I can get it done
Hmm I’m not sure about citizenship (getting a Barbadian passport). But, you can earn residency very quickly if you are a citizen of another CARICOM country. All you’d need is a CSME skills certificate and you’ll receive a Barbados residency stamp in your home country passport. This was my case.
@@michellecox1838 I thought I’d stay for about 4 months and stayed way longer. I definitely recommend staying on the South coast. Rockley golf course is a fantastic option. I used Airbnb the entire time. If not there somewhere near the water in Hastings. I didn’t have a car for the first 6 months but definitely recommend if it’s in the budget. It not required but nice to have. Also deff try surfing! My fav for lessons is Barry’s Surf School. 🇧🇧
Hello how are you I'm a Jamaican I'm interested in the program I'm a welder/carpenter and I'm wondering if I could apply for a job there and how thank you...
Thank you Jamie for your great videos, very informative. I was thinking of starting a business in information technology right there in Barbados. Please can you share any insight or make a video starting a business in Barbabos?
Hm, I’m not too familiar with the process of starting a business but perhaps you can get in touch with the Barbados Coalition of Service Industries. They may be able to give you information on how to get started. Good luck!
Thanks for updating me,please am do much interested to live and eork in Barbados, please what ducement should i need to provide to the immigration at border, please reply, Thanks indeed
Hey Shania! There weren’t many… I’d say the cost of living is the biggest challenge; getting around can be challenging if you don’t have your own transportation; the cultural differences can require some acclimation and can be a challenging thing to get used to. Those were the main ones I’d say.
Informative video, i am a skilled caricom national and have been living here since 2011 ...my experience living in Barbados has been nothing but amazing... I also working in Government...I love it here, oh by the way i also create content on UA-cam too, basically vlogs😊

@@throughherlens363 now that you have your skilled caricom national certificate from your country ...once you are considering Barbados, you now have to take it to the Barbados Accreditation Council and apply for one here You will find all information needed for this on the website...

I'd for sure only buy meat and cook my home grown veg.
I can live without sodas, sweets etc.
So you see how we that lives here feels everyday .Its ridiculous here🤦♀️🤦♀️But where good over here🤦♀️@@darkcharmrecords
@@darkcharmrecordsreally
It’s expensive because of the US dollar not only to mention that most businesses still have to pay off shipping fees that’s why it’s expensive
Thank you for this video! My welcome stamp was approved and I am slated to make my move from the States in January so this was very insightful and has caused me to take a few more things into consideration🖤

U 're so pretty reasonable making a lot of senses...
How long can you be if you want to become a citizen?
Hmm I’m not sure about citizenship (getting a Barbadian passport). But, you can earn residency very quickly if you are a citizen of another CARICOM country. All you’d need is a CSME skills certificate and you’ll receive a Barbados residency stamp in your home country passport. This was my case.
