Visit

Planning a trip to another CARICOM country? We help you understand what your destination asks of visitors, arrange the flights, stay and transfers, and get you ready for arrival.

Visiting, working and studying are three different processes with three different sets of requirements. This page covers visiting.

Who this is for

  • CARICOM nationals taking a holiday somewhere else in the region
  • Anyone visiting family or attending a wedding, funeral or reunion
  • Business travellers heading to another member state for a short trip
  • People making a scouting trip before committing to work or study abroad
  • Travellers who want the arrangements handled rather than pieced together themselves

What is included

  • Explaining what your destination asks of visitors from your country
  • Flights matched to your dates and budget, booked and confirmed
  • Accommodation chosen for the area and the length of your stay
  • Airport transfers so there is a driver waiting rather than a taxi queue
  • An itinerary with your confirmations in one place
  • WhatsApp support before and during the trip

What you provide

  • A valid passport or accepted travel document, with enough validity left for your trip
  • Names exactly as they appear on the documents being travelled on
  • Your dates, destination and budget
  • Any visa or entry permission your nationality requires for that country

What we do not control

  • Whether you are admitted at the border, and for how long. That is the immigration officer’s decision on the day.
  • Entry requirements, which are set by each country and can change without notice.
  • Airline fares, schedules, delays and cancellations.
  • Property standards and the cancellation terms of hotels and booking platforms.

From enquiry to arrival

  1. You tell us the trip

    Your destination, your dates, and who is travelling.

  2. We check what the border asks for

    What your destination requires of visitors travelling on your passport, confirmed rather than assumed.

  3. We come back with options and prices

    Flights, somewhere to stay and transfers, priced, so you are choosing rather than guessing.

  4. You choose and we book it

    You get the confirmations, in your name.

  5. We stay reachable while you travel

    On WhatsApp, for the whole trip, not just until the booking clears.

What it costs

$100

A Move Planning Consultation for any of the twelve CARICOM countries we cover is $100. Tell us your dates and what you need, and we will map it out.

FAQ

Common questions about visiting

Do CARICOM nationals need a visa to visit another CARICOM country?

In many cases no, and CARICOM nationals often receive an automatic stay of up to six months on arrival in member states. It still depends on your nationality, your destination and your purpose, and it is not the same thing as permission to work or study. Tell us your passport and destination and we will point you to what applies.

How is visiting different from working or studying there?

Visiting is a short stay for tourism, family or business. Working in another member state generally involves the CARICOM Skills Certificate, and studying requires that country’s own student visa or permit. They are separate processes with separate requirements, which is why we treat them as separate journeys.

Can I look for work while visiting?

Entering as a visitor does not give you the right to take up employment. If work is the goal, start with the Work pathway and the Skills Certificate rather than travelling first and sorting it out later.

Do you book trips outside CARICOM?

Flights, accommodation and transfers can be arranged worldwide. The requirements guidance is focused on CARICOM, which is where we know the detail.

How far ahead should I get in touch?

The earlier the better for fares and availability, particularly around Carnival, Christmas and the summer. That said, we handle short-notice trips too, so ask either way.

Plan my visit

Tell us where you want to go and when, and we will come back with what it involves and what it costs.

Entry to any country is decided by its immigration authority at the border. A booking is not permission to enter. Thinking about working or studying instead? Work and Study cover those.
