Well, i do not believe that there is something hidden beyond Barbados Welcome Stamp except their desire to attract people willing/able to spend cash in Barbados.
However not every island in Caribbean can be perceived as paradise - rather high cost of living (accommodation/food/services/flights/health related costs)… Problems with water, electricity, internet, crime and hurricanes. Eventually Malta or Turkey or Egypt might be cheaper… or Thailand.
Another issue is taxation - for 2 k you will get the tax certificate from Barbadian authorities but will your home country take this paper seriously? Countries like Spain or Germany will say that you had genuine bonds with your country and center of your vital interests is certainly not on Barbados… I guess a lot will depend where you come from… Hungary will not give a give a shit about you while France or Spain will be taking Barbados… story seriously
