If you are considering moving to the Caribbean, you are not alone. Despite the fact that we have had an extremely warm winter so far in the UK, the prospect of Brexit has made some people simply want to get out of Europe altogether and move to a sunnier and more easy-going climate, particularly since the politicians here don't seem to know whether they want to leave the EU or remain. We won't delve into that, but it does make moving to Jamaica or one of the other Caribbean islands seem like a very good alternative.
If you have decided to move to the Caribbean, you will want to investigate the pros and cons of the various islands. You will probably want one which is mainly English-speaking, and you will need to do some serious research because the islands have different requirements if you want to move there permanently.
One of the things that many of them have in common is rules about employment. In general, they tend to favour local people first, and in many cases, employers are required to show that they have tried to fill a post with local labour but have been unable to do so. There are some exceptions. For instance, if you are a doctor you will probably be welcomed with open arms, but if you are a general office worker it may be difficult.
Many of the islands also have other requirements, and some charge a fee of several thousands of pounds just to permit you to become a resident.
