We have arrived to live in Barbados. There were months of planning and lots of things to do to get ready for the move. As US citizens we are here 3 months visa free, with the option of an extension of 3 more months after a visit to immigration on the 2nd floor of the careenage for the extension, after that we will look at permanent residency. So far we are very pleased with our experience here. We visited Barbados for many years, so we do have friends and know where most things are. The planning was grueling and little went as we had thought it would go. Of course, the end result makes up for allot of that.
