But how do you get your documents ready?

In Barbados, there are numerous steps in which you have to go through to get your documents notarized to submit to your new job to be able to get Z visa (for work). 

Documents you would need: Diploma (the original and 1 copy) and Police Certificate of Character ( 1 copy) 

First take your original copy of your diploma and your extra copy to the Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training. Located at Constitution Rd, Bridgetown, Barbados.
