Barbados is offering you the opportunity to work remotely from the beach

WASHINGTON (SBG) — The government of Barbados is trying to offer workers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They're encouraging anyone with the capability of working from home to work for a year on the island. ABarbados Welcome Stamp would allow foreigners to live in the country visa-free for up to 12 months.

Local taxes that normally applies after staying in the country for six months would be removed, The Washington Post reports.

This initiative is being started in order to boost the Barbados' economy which has suffered after many stayed in their respective homes to prevent contracting coronavirus. The country's border opened up on July 12 but some restrictions still apply until further notice, according to CNN.

In order to enter Barbados, you must show documentation proving that you've tested negative for COVID-19. APCR COVID-19 test and bar code will be presented to immigration officials upon arrival. Data from Johns Hopkins shows the country has 103 cases of the disease as well as seven deaths compared to the United States which has over 3 million cases and over 130,000 deaths.

“You don’t need to work in Europe, or the US or Latin America if you can come here and work for a couple months at a time; go back and come back. But in order for those things to truly resonate, what does it mean? It means that what we offer has to be world-class and what we continue to offer is world-class,” Prime MinisterMia Mottley said to a Barbados government blog.
