About the Barbados Passport
The Barbados passport ranks 9th by mobility, placing it in the strong tier. Holders can visit 112 destinations visa-free, and the total climbs to 173 when eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa options are included. Europe is the leading region with 43 visa-free destinations, while Oceania is the weakest at five.
Among major destinations, France and the Schengen area, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore and Brazil are all visa-free. The United Kingdom and Canada require an eTA, and Australia can be entered on an e-Visa. The United States still requires a visa, which is the main limit on an otherwise capable passport. Since access is already broad, a second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 9 destinations, and residency may suit other goals better.
