Barbados Is Offering a 12-Month Visa for Remote Workers If You Want to Escape to a Caribbean Island

Island of Paradise. White sand beaches with coco-tree and crystal blue water. Maldives. Luxury holidays. High contrast.

 

One day, I would like to live near a beach, never deal with snow, and always have something to look out. I am a Midwest guy so that is pretty much just a dream. The pandemic might have made people consider getting away for awhile. I am not sure you could pay me enough to go to Florida right now, but there are other places to get away!  . .

Barbados just announced they’ll be offering 12-month visas to anyone who wants to come to their country to work remotely.

They’re hoping to attract some workers who’ll help offset the economic losses they’re suffering from the drop in tourism.

They also think the 12-month timeframe works better during the pandemic, where international trips can require long quarantines both coming and going.

As far as the pandemic goes…..

Barbados has only had 98 coronavirus cases and seven deaths, so all things considered, it could be a good place to ride this out.  Plus, you know, it’s a beautiful Caribbean island and all that.
