I will be attending the UWI in Barbados, however, I will be taking my family (wife and 2 sons - 8years old and 6 months) with me. I am not worried about student visa for myself but I would like on information on sending my son to school. Will he need a student Visa? In addition, will my wife need status in Barbados. We both are from Belize and therefore a member of caricom. In addition, my wife is in the process of applying for a skill certificate and should be able to work under the CSME. What will my family need to live with me in Barbados.

ANy information will be greatly appreciated.

gosh that is a tricky one. I would guess that if your wifes skill certificate comes through and you are able to live here through the CSME (as well as your UWI student visa). you child will need a student visa to go to school. I'm guessing your wife would have to apply for that under her work permit. I would strongly encourage you to check with Immigration (not easy but necessary) in your case.
