3 Easy Steps to obtaining Barbados e-Visa

You can remain in Barbados for a maximum of three months on each browse through. After your ETA is provided you are able to get in and also leave Barbados as often times as you have to during a Twelve Month duration, from the day the ETA is provided or until the expiry day of your passport, whichever is earlier.

If you do not satisfy the requirements for applying ETA online, please apply through travel agent, airline or an Australian visa office. If you are not available for an ETA VISA, you can still apply for a other electronic visiting visa.

It is important that you are very careful when you enter your personal details. You will have an opportunity to review all the details you have provided and can change the details at any time until you confirm all details as correct.

If you have made an error, it is important that you correct it before proceeding. Once you have confirmed the details, your credit card will be debited for the non-refundable service charge.

If you find out later that you have made a mistake, you will need to make a new application (and incur another service charge). We cannot change the details on an ETA once it has been issued.

Note: If your ETA details do not match your passport details you might experience delays when boarding your aircraft or be refused entry into Australia.

The best time to apply for your Barbados visa is 1-2 months before your travel date.
