Entry conditions

  • Chinese passport holders may stay visa-free for up to 30 days per visit
  • Entry is for tourism, visiting family/friends, or short business meetings; paid work is not permitted
  • Immigration officers may ask to see a return ticket and proof of funds/accommodation on arrival
  • Extensions beyond 30 days, up to a maximum stay of 6 months, can be requested at the Barbados Immigration Department in Bridgetown

Fees & processing time
