CARIBBEAN
NATIONALS If
you are a citizen of a CARICOM country and have a University Degree you may apply
to the Immigration Department for a permit to live and work in Barbados. If you
do not qualify, the same would apply for you as for all other foreign nationals.
(See below). Agreements regarding the movement of labour within CARICOM often
being reviewed, please check with your local Immigration Department. FOREIGN
NATIONALS For
all foreign nationals who are not from a CARICOM country, a work permit is obligatory
for Barbados. This may be granted only if there is no Barbadian available with
the necessary qualifications and experience. The employer offering the position
must apply for the permit and prove to the Immigration Department that no suitable
local applicant is available. If obtained, the work permit is valid for that position
only. Opportunities therefore exist mainly at the very senior level or in very
specialised areas. For
further details, you may contact: The Immigration Department, Careenage
House, The Wharf, Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies. Telephone: (246) 426-1011
or Fax: (246) 426-0819.
