Entry requirements:

  • All COVID-19 travel restrictions for UK travellers to Barbados have been lifted, and there are no testing requirements for entering Barbados whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated.

Entry requirements for children

  • Unaccompanied minors (under 18 years old) must have a written consent letter from a parent or legal guardian, signed and sealed by a notary public. The letter/form must indicate the duration of stay, identify an authorised adult who will receive the child on arrival and must have their contact details.
  • Minors travelling with an adult other than their parent or legal guardian must have a letter of consent from a parent signed and sealed by a notary public. The letter must indicate the duration of stay and must identify the accompanying adult and must have the address and phone number of this person. The letter should also identify an authorised adult, who will receive the child on arrival if different than the accompanying person, with their address and phone number.
