Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Barbados

Applies the rule

The ministry responsible for consular policy and for CARICOM affairs, and the Government's voice on both. It publishes the complete visa table for every country in the world - the only such list any Caribbean country in this comparison puts out as a readable document - and it published the frequently asked questions for the launch of enhanced cooperation in free movement on 1 October 2025, including the Government's own answer to which laws govern it.

The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

Cannot be cited for

It administers and does not issue: nothing it publishes is an instrument, and its free movement FAQ is explicitly an explanation of a decision rather than a text of law. Its visa table carries its own revision date - August 2022 - and nothing says whether it has been reviewed since, so it must not be cited as the position today without checking. Its visitor page states a driving permit requirement that the Road Traffic Act as consolidated to 2022 does not contain.
