The application for your student visa will begin processing after you check into campus in Barbados and have submitted any additional required documents (if applicable) to the RUSM Immigration team. This includes the submission of original or officially notarized birth certificates / marriage certificate (if applicable). \r\rAll students are required to submit their passport for stamping in accordance with the Barbados immigration policies. Student visa applications are reviewed and approved by the Barbados Immigration Office in specific batches. Once your visa has been approved, you will be sent instructions on how and when to submit your passport to the RUSM Immigration team for stamping. The RUSM Immigration team will coordinate the stamping schedule with the Barbados immigration department. Stamped passports are returned to students within 10 working days from the date of submission.\r\rMore information on the student visa process can also be found on the Student Timeline Immigration page.
