Working from home could be about to get a major upgrade, as Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley has said her government is considering letting visitors stay and work remotely from the island for a year.

Mottley said lawmakers were looking at introducing the 12-month "Barbados Welcome Stamp," noting that restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic had made short-term travel more difficult because of the testing now required.

. She added that it would allow "persons to come and work from here overseas, digitally so, so that persons don't need to remain in the countries in which they are.". Mottley said in the speech that in order to attract visitors, what Barbados had to offer "has to be world-class and what we continue to offer is world-class."

Will Tituba be there?

Sounds great until a giant hurricane comes and sweeps everything out to sea

Barbados beaches are beautiful.

im in!

I'm down as long as the hookers are cheap

I rather go to Malaysia or Vietnam or Bali where currency is cheap and cost of living is less and infrastructure is decent. Only good thing about barabdos is the time zone.

Good job CNBC on posting positive frames for once!

They’d call me back in the second I get there

Super

👍

has your solution

Extra boring

RadioSilentplay here ya go lol

Students, too ? That's what I'd call 'Remote Learning'... for real.

What a dream 😏

Oh shit!

trendsetter

Lol.. how do you build cars from home? How do you build roads from home?

I would like to!

Just get out before hurricane season

The major source of revenue for the state (tourism) has been slacking. I hope to see the government make policies that attract WFH people and companies to accommodate them. It’ll be great for the economy and those seeking a retreat from home.

Terrible. You can’t actually work from the beach on a computer.

No thanks! Maje tax monies and such belong here...nice try though!

Wow——! Great benefit- makes sense

Biden supporters should head down there. Barbados’ 28% income tax rate is just the thing Democrats are looking for.

You know there are a lot of cheaper nice places in the world

Boring

Sign me up! 😎

How’s the WiFi?

Barbados don’t do this. You’re opening it up for colonizers to go there and ruin everything. And they’ll bring covid too.

With sandy beaches!

I’ll allow it.

How am I going to get there....rowboat?

Sounds like Trump 2020 ✊🏿🇺🇸

SquawkCNBC Unfortunately that conversation was rife with ignorance. Get the facts and have a proper conversation to weigh the pros and cons of the offer. This is just another type of tourism and an attempt at being Innovative in the face of difficult economic times balancedreporting

SquawkCNBC How many ICU beds are there in Barbados?

SquawkCNBC The Bahamas 🇧🇸 will probably give the same offer? Many Out Islands have had no virus and cost 3/4 of what you'll have to pay in Barbados.

The whole 'tropical island' thing is sh1t. Nice for 2 weeks, maybe a month, but medieval healthcare and no good eduction for your kids are deal killers ultimately.

Sounds like white privilege.

Yes please.

Sounds better than staying here through this election. Going to be absolutely miserable

now your talking .... :). I can do my techie job from anywhere... let's go to Barbados!

It won't last long.

Boring

SquawkCNBC Sounds great until a giant hurricane comes and washes everyone out to sea

SquawkCNBC Do it! Trinidad 🇹🇹 should do the same.

Goodbye wife and kids

I'm off!!
