Moving to Barbados?

Question

looking for real info about moving to and becoming a citizen of barbados from the U. S. ty for any serious answers!

Answer 1

unless you marry a bajan or are of bajan decent, you will not get citizenship, you may get permanent residency if you set up a business or buy land and prove to the government that you are an asset to the country and will bring in money, other than that, you will get 9 months stay, but i do know people who after 6 months go for an extension and get refused and have to leave, getting a job is difficult as an employer would have to apply for a work permit for you at great expense and unless you can do a job that no other bajan can or will then you wont get it. Most people come for a few months (because that all immigration will give them)  then leave and come back a few months later. Also, the cost of living is very high so come with money. But other than that I love living here and am very happy, its a great place to be.

Answer 2

Although, it'd be nice to fly out and settle down but it just doesn't happen overnight.

But I can suggest you to be making sure that you get a work permit: http://www.bidc.com/section2.cfm?SubSect...
