There has been a lot of talk recently regarding the new 12 month remote living permit available in Barbados. It has brought up alot of questions which I hope to address in this article. However if you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me at Sherryann.bourne@rbc.com.
Why should you choose Barbados? Sunny, safe and cosmopolitan Barbados is a lure to anyone whose work is flexible enough to allow them to set up office remotely. If you’re thinking about moving away from densely populated urban centers, want to escape an unforgiving climate, are interested in seeing a new culture or just want a change of scenery for your home office, Barbados gives you a lifestyle that allows for safe and healthy outdoor living on a secure tropical island. We have also managed to keep our COVID19 cases under control at the time of writing this article.
