Investment Details
Barbados does not offer citizenship by investment. The most commonly cited residence route is a Special Entry Permit for owners of Barbados property from about USD 300,000, or a high-net-worth route around USD 2 million investment plus USD 5 million net worth — confirm current Immigration / Invest Barbados terms in writing. A separate Welcome Stamp remote-work visa costs USD 2,000 (individual) or USD 3,000 (family) and is not an investment product.
