What Barbados requires

One document, and it applies to every foreign national: whatever your passport, however you arrive.

  • Barbados ED Card

    ED Card

    The Barbados ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation Card) is Barbados' official digital immigration and customs form, a mandatory requirement for all travelers entering and departing the island. Complete your Barbados ED Card application online before departure and receive instant confirmation, ready to show on arrival at Grantley Adams International Airport.

    What you'll need

    Valid passport details, travel information (airline/vessel and flight/voyage number), accommodation details in Barbados (type and name), personal and contact information, and valid email address to receive your confirmation.

    $99.99

    No Barbados government fee. Service fee only.

Four steps, and you know all four

Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.

  1. 01

    Your trip

    When you arrive and leave, and where to email the document.

  2. 02

    Your travelers

    Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.

  3. 03

    Review and pay

    Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.

  4. 04

    After payment

    Arrival details

    After payment

    Airline, flight number and your address in Barbados. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.

What it costs

$99.99 per traveler for the ED Card, charged for at most 2 travelers. Barbados charges no government fee, so that is the whole bill.

What $99.99 adds

Someone else carries it

  • An AI checks every answer against Barbados's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
  • Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
  • If Barbados's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
  • Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
  • A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.

Doing it yourself

travelform.gov.bb (free)

  • The official portal, in your own time. It works.
  • The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
  • You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
  • A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
  • Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.

Review and submission speed

Every application is checked by a person before it is submitted. Standard is included in the price above. Two faster options are available at checkout, and neither is pre-selected.

  • Standard

    2 hours

    Included in the price above

  • Fast

    1 hour

    +$10.00 per application

  • Ultra Fast

    15 minutes

    +$20.00 per application

Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. If Barbados is not accepting your document for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens; checkout shows you that date before you pay. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.

A travel eSIM is the only other optional extra at checkout. Every line is itemized before you pay.

Who needs one

The questions people actually ask

One: the ED Card. It applies to every foreign national arriving in Barbados, by air, land or sea. If your nationality also needs a visa, that is a separate application. The ED Card does not replace it.
