      Travel requirements to Barbados for Australian citizens

      Australian citizens don't need a visa for short stays in Barbados, making it a great destination for tourism, business trips, and short visits. However, it's important to be aware of other travel requirements and conditions to ensure a smooth journey.

      Barbados entry requirements for Australian citizens

      Travellers need a visa to visit Barbados for Business or Tourism for more than 180 days. Travellers do not need a visa if staying for 180 days or less.
      The UK government is introducing a new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) requirement for non-visa travellers starting in 2025. This system, similar to the US ESTA, will require most visitors to obtain an ETA or eVisa before travelling to the UK. The ETA is a digital permit linked to the traveller's passport, costing £10, and allows multiple entries into the UK for up to six months at a time over a two-year period.
      ETA rollout schedule:
      • From January 8, 2025: All non-European nationals will need an ETA.
      • From April 2, 2025: European citizens will also require an ETA.
      • Applications: Open for non-European nationals on November 27, 2023, and for European citizens on March 5, 2025.
      Who needs an ETA?
      It will cover all non-European and European nationals (except British and Irish citizens).
      Exemptions:
      British and Irish passport holders, those with British Overseas Territories passports, existing visa holders, and individuals with permission to live, work, or study in the UK do not need to apply for an ETA.
      Restrictions:
      While the ETA permits stays for tourism, business, short-term studies, or visiting friends and family for up to six months, it does not allow activities like getting married, claiming benefits, residing in the country through frequent visits, or self-employed work.
