Digital nomads in Barbados get the perks of working with a view, while also invigorating the economy. Rachel Hosie/Insider After the pandemic hit, tourist hot spot Barbados created the Welcome Stamp, a new visa for remote workers. Following safety protocol, I visited the island in October to meet its new digital nomads and locals to see how the program is going. Some Bajan business owners told Insider the Welcome Stamp has saved their companies and that Barbados can benefit from the influx of skilled workers. However, along with more long-term visitors there’s the threat of gentrification, and the island has had to adapt rapidly to accommodate remote workers.
