Dear Consultant - I want to move to the Caribbean

I want to move to the Caribbean, but I don't know which country or island. I just want to live in a warmer climate. What do you suggest?

Michelle

Dear Michelle,
That's great that you want to live in the Caribbean, it's such a refreshing place to live. I really enjoy it myself; being able swim on a Caribbean beach, to be free of some of the stresses and pressures of modern life and escape from the cold at winter, really makes it a joy for me. I expect you can imagine how that could be for you too.

I suggest that you start off by using the internet to research the various Caribbean countries, so that you can narrow your focus and know which country will best meet your needs when you are ready to buy. Each country has a different flavour and different facilities available.

You might want to make a list of what you are looking for in your new lifestyle . . schools, groceries, health care, entertainment and socialising needs, could feature on your list. With a series of internet searches, you can discover what each country can offer in terms of your important factors.

Another idea is to search for blogs written by expats in the countries in which you are interested. This can give you more of a feel of the lifestyle in that country.

Our clients generally like to know about the buying process and which governments offer incentives to foreigners, returnees or retirees. Many countries have programs running for ex-patriots that can offer significant gains and tax savings. We have a page for each country, which you can find on our wbeiste in the bottom menu on each page. These pages can give you an introduction to what you might find in each country and some information on the buying process for that country, and in some cases, how to gain residency.
