The Government of Barbados has begun a comprehensive review of its existing immigration policies that includes measures to make it easier for people of Barbadian descent around the world to return to Barbados and claim citizenship. In November 2019 Barbados Minister of Home Affairs, Edmund Hinkson, said “we will expand citizenship down to grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In other words, if you are a grandchild or great-grandchild of a Barbadian citizen, you will be entitled to Barbadian citizenship.”
