It has been stated that 3 thousand people have come to the country with the new visa program since the pandemic.

Stating that he quit his job last January and came here for a year with his wife, a computer software developer, “It was very easy. We put our belongings in a warehouse and brought a few things with us. We stayed in quarantine for two weeks in a barracks. The next thing is nice. Jim said.” He works between 05: 00-13: 30. He enjoys the afternoons. I’m like on vacation too. I do yoga, get together with my friends, walk around. The beaches are something else; they are really beautiful.
Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley said, “Covid-19 has changed the working life globally. Many people work from home. We guarantee those who want to work here for 12 months. You will come to the world for a week, two weeks or a month. “Enjoy being somewhere else, the sun, the sand, the sea and a stable country.”
