Barbados has always been more than a destination—it’s a home, a heritage, and a heartbeat that echoes across the globe. In 2025, the island once again calls its people near and far through We Gatherin’ 2025, a national initiative to reconnect Barbadians with their heritage, culture, and community.
From cultural festivals to diaspora receptions in London, New York, and Havana, We Gatherin’ is not just a celebration. It is an invitation to come home—to rediscover your identity, invest in your country, or even start a new life on this island that thrives on belonging.
At BorderPass Barbados, we see ourselves as partners in that journey. Whether you are a Barbadian returning after generations abroad or a Caribbean neighbor looking to plant new roots here, we provide the immigration expertise and personal guidance to make the process seamless.
What We Gatherin’ 2025 Means
A Year of Homecomings: The programme launched with vibrant airport welcomes, cultural showcases, and parish-wide events—each one a reminder that home is not just where you live, but where you belong.
Diaspora Engagement: From the UK to Cuba, Barbadians abroad are gathering to celebrate heritage and share stories of return. The “Home Drums” podcast captures these voices, connecting the diaspora across continents.
A Call to Contribute: Beyond celebrations, We Gatherin’ encourages giving back—through investment, mentorship, and skills exchange. It’s about building a Barbados that is future-ready, fueled by both those who stayed and those returning.
How BorderPass Barbados Can Help You Come Home
At BorderPass, we don’t just process immigration paperwork—we help people reconnect with their roots or establish new ones in Barbados.
Here’s how we can support your We Gatherin’ journey:
Barbadian by Descent: If your parents or grandparents were Barbadian, we guide you through citizenship or permanent residence applications to reclaim your heritage.
Diaspora Returnees: If you’ve lived abroad but want to return permanently, we assist with residency permits, re-entry status, and practical settlement support.
Caribbean Neighbors: With full CARICOM free movement beginning October 1, 2025, we advise and assist Caribbean nationals looking to live, work, or retire in Barbados.
New Roots: For those outside of the Caribbean, we help with residency, special entry permits, and citizenship by investment—offering tailored solutions to make Barbados your home.
Family & Generational Guidance: From registering children as citizens to securing long-term rights for spouses, we ensure your family’s future is anchored here.
Why BorderPass Barbados Is Different
We know that coming home—or making a new home—is deeply personal. Immigration isn’t just about forms and approvals. It’s about:
Identity – helping you claim what is already yours by heritage or history.
Belonging – guiding you into a community where your story becomes part of Barbados’ story.
Legacy – ensuring that the roots you plant today will grow strong for generations.
We Gatherin’ 2025 is Barbados’s open invitation: come home, reconnect, belong.
At BorderPass Barbados, we are here to make that invitation a reality—by guiding you through every immigration step, whether you’re rediscovering your roots or planting brand-new ones.
Because home is not just where you live. Home is where you belong—and where your future begins.
