BARBADOS 12 Month Welcome Stamp Insights In July of this year, Prime Minister the Rt. Hon. Mia Amor Mottley and Team Barbados offered up a master-class in marketing and execution with the launch of the 12 Month Barbados Welcome Stamp. The Welcome Stamp was the first digital nomad visa, offering qualified individuals and families the opportunity to live and work in Barbados for up to 12 months. In order to better understand the overall experience of acquiring the visa and Barbados’ suitability as a remote working destination, we surveyed a number of actual ‘Welcome Stamp Bajans’ here on the island.
