10 Tips and Tricks for Digital Nomads on the Barbados Welcome Stamp

[@jesussaves4238]

Wow Belema, you just taught me something about Barbados , I'm born and bread there now residing in the UK and I didn't know you can order food like UBER or just eat apps , the land of my birth is modernising

[@BelemaRonabere]

I was pleased to learn that there were more online options for managing services and other utilities. I think in the future we'll have much more services and faster delivery times to all parts of Barbados too. Can't wait.

You most definitely know your shit real talk ❤! I been in and out of there so many times and my fiancé lives there and I will moving there and still he doesn’t know half of what you know especially the stamp process you gave me more information than most KZbinrs I have heard I am done looking you it! Where’s your tip jar!

[@BelemaRonabere]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'll come back and drop one for you :)

[@enod9746]

I remember my first time in the Blue Buses. I did not know I had to drop the coins in the slot beside the driver. He cracked a joke about it and everyone laughed, knowing I was a foreigner immediately. Enjoyed my time there in 2021. The KFC there is 100 times more superior than what I have ever tasted in Naija.

[@BelemaRonabere]

That's such a good memory. We once helped a tourist couple that had only USD. Even after nearly two years, I still sometimes forget to keep exact change for the trip and I often have to fiddle my bag to find change while the bus keeps moving. Good times!

[@BeaMangar]

So true about short term rentals - they can be more costly. We loved staying at a hotel full time during our Welcome Stamp year in Barbados 🇧🇧. Great tips Belema. ❤

[@BelemaRonabere]

So true! I’m happy I found somewhere I liked 😃

[@suzywilliams4416]

Thanks so much you are a sweet heart

[@BelemaRonabere]

You are so welcome

[@monsieurbbq]

thanks for the video ! We move to barbados on welcome stand next year. We need to sell our house !! :)

[@BelemaRonabere]

Good luck with your journey! It's expensive but lovely to live here!

[@carlcadogan4510]

Depends on the area you live in Barbados. The water is desalinated or from the natural water table, hard, due to the limestone. Both are safe to drink. However my preference is to filter the water first.

[@BelemaRonabere]

Yea. It's safe to drink just took a little adjusting to.

[@betrendi1292]

Thanks Belema for all your tips and info how could one contact you for further info if visiting the island currently?

[@BelemaRonabere]

I don't offer any personalized services while on the island but if you have questions, you can book a call if you want to discuss.

[@maryjonesiwuji6435]

Great job Belema! Thanks for the insight. Am planning to relocate to Barbados with my family because I already have a job offer there but my question is what visa will be advisable for my husband and children I really don’t know how to go about it and we all are still currently in Nigeria, please what do you advise

[@SarahPLayne]

if you have a job offer, the company providing the Work Visa for you would need to work out details for your family, but your husband would not be allowed to work, only reside in country. you also need to make sure that the company is approved to offer you a work visa, which is costly to the company and is only valid for a short time. the company has to apply to Immigration for this work permit and has to prove that no Barbadian has the qualifications to do the work you are being hired to do.

[@maryjonesiwuji6435]

@@SarahPLayne Thanks so much for this reply it’s really helpful! I appreciate

[@skynkem]

Barbados is free visa for Nigeria's

[@ojrealgist9981]

You’re gorgeous Belema! I’m interested in the Masterclass. How do I register?

[@BelemaRonabere]

Thank you. It is coming in the new year 🥳

[@wunmidanmole9246]

So how long does one have to be working online to qualify for a digital nomad visa.

[@BelemaRonabere]

Most visas require bank statements that show an amount of earned in the last year or six months so the amount of time doesn’t really matter ❤️

[@alexonozor]

Hi @belema, Did you need to get a transit visa from Nigeria?

[@BelemaRonabere]

With our passport and the current visa rules, you will need it. Doesn't matter if I did during my time 😇

[@fidelemboh1256]

Hello Belema , if someone is granted this welcome stamp will they need to get a one way flight ticket since the visa is 1 year or round trip ticket ? Thanks for your response.

[@BelemaRonabere]

one way ticket is fine but some countries you may transit through can request a return ticket

[@fidelemboh1256]

@@BelemaRonabere thank you very much for your reply. God bless you.

Great video! Have you found it easy to make friends there?

[@BelemaRonabere]

I’ve mostly been a homebody but the people at church are nice. I’m planning on checking out the nomad spots and going out more in 2023. I’ll keep you updated. And thanks for the kind words. 😇

[@Lauren-nr1wk]

@@BelemaRonabere cool! I’m thinking about possibly doing this so I like hearing your experience. There are other countries that also seem interesting too so doing lots of research.

[@whome1629]

The only reason to take a ZR is that you waiting too long for the regular bus.

[@BelemaRonabere]

Yea. In parts of some parishes, they don’t run as frequently as many would like but I always love the experience of riding in them when they aren’t congested.

[@whome1629]

Wasn't CIBC been sold, also Scotia Bank?

[@BelemaRonabere]

Both still exist here.

How long have you been a digital nomad?

[@BelemaRonabere]

I started the “nomad” part a year or so ago. The digital part for about 5 years. So I was location independent but just rarely travelled lol

[@Iam_stanz]

I came to Barbados to visit my aunty they didn’t stamp my passport at the airport why 😢

[@BelemaRonabere]

Same here. It sens they have moved to a more digital focused system. They no longer stamp passports. You scan with one of those machines and then get a picture plus a receipt. Then you take that to immigration to confirm and you’re good to go lol

[@Iam_stanz]

@@BelemaRonabere yeah that what I do I take it to immigration on Bridgetown but please how can I get student visa so I. Can be able to stay here as long as I want please I need your advice 🙏🏻
