caribbean2000 Posted April 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Excuse me if this is a silly question but it seems a year or so ago there was talk of Barbados requiring passports to go ashore. Did that ever happen? Is it the case now? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missybirchfield Posted April 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Not sure since they have extended the time to get a passport. But I went to travel.state.gov and checked into it and this is what I did find: BARBADOS - *Passport and proof of sufficient funds required. Passport must be valid beyond the duration of this visit to Barbados. Cruise passengers planning to disembark in Barbados must have a valid passport. [Tourist] visa not required for stays up to six months. Departure tax of $12.50 ($25 BDS) paid at the airport. Visa requires 2 completed visa application forms, 2 passport sized photos accompanied by a valid passport. A $25 fee is required for single entry and $30 for multiple entry (cash or money order only). Single-/Multiple-entry visas valid for 3 months. Business visa requires work permit and letter from host or company in Barbados. For more information, contact the Embassy of Barbados, 2144 Wyoming Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, telephone (202) 939-9200, fax (202) 332-7467, Internet e-mail: barbados@oas.org or the consulates of Barbados in Los Angeles, Miami or New York Missy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missybirchfield Posted April 9, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Sorry for double post. Computer messed up and I didn't think it went the first time. Missy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunniebgi Posted April 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2006 A passport is not required if you are sailing into Barbados and only for a day. If you are coming here to take a cruise or getting off the ship to depart from the airport you will need a passport. However, having said that. When are you traveling, because you will, soon enough, be required to have a passport if you are a US Citizen if you are traveling to the Caribbean. Might as well go ahead and get one. Again, you don't need it now to go ashore unless you are planning to fly out of the island instead of just getting off the ship for the day.
