Passports
The Civil Aviation Code has mandated that effective Nov 2010; all travelers must be in possession of “Machine Readable Passports”. In this regard the Consulate will no longer be issuing or renewing Barbados passports.
Passports will be issued and renewed by the Immigration Department in Barbados and all applications will be processed by the Consulate for onward transmission to the Chief Immigration Officer, Bridgetown, Barbados. It is in your interest to ensure that all the pertinent sections of the application form are completed and accompanied by the relevant documentation.

Travel Insurance
If relatives or friends in Barbados plan to visit you or you are aware of their plans for a trip abroad, you should advise them to purchase travel insurance. You may also purchase travel insurance for relatives or friends visiting you, to cover the period of their visit. More often than not we enjoy problem free travel but we should be prepared for the occasion when misfortune might arise. Travel insurance is a small investment, the benefits of which could significantly reduce the stress and anxieties caused by unforeseen circumstances. Always remember the Boys Scouts motto: “be prepared”
Network Barbados
In its efforts to embrace Barbadians in the Diaspora, the Government of Barbados is encouraging all nationals to register with the Consulate.
