CARIBBEAN – Citizens of Barbados and Guyana will soon be able to travel between the two countries using only national identification cards under a landmark bilateral agreement.

The new arrangement takes effect on July 1 and will eliminate the need for passports for eligible Barbadian and Guyanese travelers, making regional travel easier and more affordable.

The announcement comes as both countries celebrate 60 years of political independence from Britain this year.

Officials said the move is expected to strengthen tourism, business travel, trade, cultural exchange, and family connections between the countries.
