The U.S. Embassy Consular Section in Barbados has announced the resumption of routine tourist and business visa services in the B1\/B2 visa category beginning Monday November 16, 2020, with next available open appointments starting December 01, 2020.<\/p>

 <\/p>\n

Appointments will only be available for applicants residing within the Embassy\u2019s consular district, which encompasses Antigua and Barbuda, countries within the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, and the French and United Kingdom jurisdictions in the Eastern Caribbean.<\/p>

Applicants residing outside of Barbados who wish to schedule an in-person interview must strictly adhere to all immigration restrictions imposed by the Government of Barbados. Furthermore, all applicants are expected to strictly adhere to Barbadian Ministry of Health protocols.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

A visa appointment at the US Embassy does NOT allow for a breakage of required quarantine or isolation.
