Licensing and Payment of Fees

As a result of the recent progression to Stage 3 of the National Preparedness Plan for COVID-19, the International Business Unit will be working remotely and consequently, the following measures have been implemented to facilitate business continuity.

Applications for Foreign Currency Permits will be processed electronically, and electronic copies of Foreign Currency Permits will only be issued pending proof of payment via the Ez Pay Plus Portal for Registered Agents of the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office. This proof of payment must be emailed to shelley.blades@barbadosbusiness.gov.bb.

Kindly note that original Foreign Currency Permits will be issued to service providers subsequently.

All other applications for licences and certificates must be submitted electronically to commence processing. These submissions can be made to shelley.blades@barbadosbusiness.gov.bb.

However, due to the fact that no other payments for International Business Unit applications are facilitated by the Ez Pay Plus Portal, no final licences or certificates for any applications other than Foreign Currency Permits will be issued electronically at this time.

Please be guided accordingly.
