Reimanns' Barbados Move Held Up by Visa Requirement

Overview

• The couple bought a roughly 50‑year‑old house and returned three months later to begin repairs and to press the residency application on Sunday.
• Immigration officials have not issued a permanent visa because the Reimanns' US health insurance is not valid on Barbados, so the authority is asking for supplemental local coverage and additional paperwork.
• They have already started urgent renovation work, including demolishing the old kitchen, and are dealing with a broken oven door, a clogged drain, a leaking tap and a failed guesthouse air conditioner.
• Major relocation logistics remain unresolved: the Reimanns plan to ship several tons of Konny's tools and years of collected possessions from Hawaii but say they will wait to complete the move until the visa is granted.
• The visa hold‑up and the home's repairs are shown in a new episode of Willkommen bei den Reimanns, and the couple frames the residency approval as the decisive step before their planned 'Konny Island IV' project can proceed.
