## Resource

Barbados just soared to 39th globally on the passport mobility index—top of CARICOM and third in North America—giving citizens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 100 countries, including Europe, the Caribbean, and much of South and North America. But here’s the twist: while Barbados is a global passport powerhouse, it ranks 37th on the welcoming index, meaning Barbadian travelers still face strict entry rules in places like the U.S., Australia, Qatar, and New Zealand—highlighting that travel freedom isn’t always mutual.
