A Green Card holder (permanent resident) is someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, they are given a permanent resident card, commonly called a “Green Card.”

It is very important to note that holders of a Green Card are still foreigners in the eyes of the U.S. government and are therefore subject to deportation if they violate U.S. immigration laws or commit certain crimes.

With that said, let’s take a look at whether or not you can travel to Barbados with a Green Card.
