Answer 1

Well, that all depends.

Depending on where you live right now, always best talk to an embassy/immigration before moving, but if you have family to sponsor you or a spouse, you can get married in order to live there, then start to look for employment.

As for moneywise, it's wise to look at real estate/rental places to see what suits you. I really like Barbados - my boyfriend lives there so if I want to get married, I'd be sure to move there or he can move to Canada, either way. There are ways to budget.

Another thing, for a specific place you want to live in, always best look for a job and see if the company would sponsor you before you move there, then my next advice is speak to immigration/embassy!

You could try for job listings at http://www.nationnews.com/

Good luck.

Answer 2

If you could simply make up your mind to move to the Caribbean and go there, half the world would be heading in that direction. In fact, the rules are very strict wherever you look and the first thing you must do is decided where you are aiming to go and then find a job. If you have some practical skill which is in demand, then you might be successful and your prospective employer would apply for a work permit for you, advertising the job locally in case any local people came forward to take it up (this seems to be the general rule). Your work permit would be renewable every one or two years, depending on the rules. You might find that living expenses gobbled up most of your pay. On some islands you would find it advisable to live somewhere more expensive but more secure and you might find yourself paying a large air conditioning bill, as leaving windows open simply results in insects and mildew.
Another person has suggested setting up your own business. It seems to be the general rule that no foreigner can do that without securing a local person as at least a sleeping partner -- which means that someone else would be creaming off the proceeds of your hard work.
I wish you well and hope you find something.

Answer 3

To my knowledge you don't really need anything to move to the Caribbean but at your age a job would be good. First you should decide where you want to live. Then check out the newspapers from those islands for job listings. If you find something you could do with your degree then apply for the job and hope you get it. And the price of property depends where in the Caribbean you go for example in the Cayman Islands and Puerto Rico the price for property is high but that is because of the high cost of living (the pay is higher due to all the expenses). But there is no tax so that's a bonus.

Answer 4

Easy,BUT!!
It can be complicated however remember,its up to you to know were you wanna live,so do a thourough research,know what you'll need to succeed.

Is it some were were the language is Spanish like Puerto Rico/Cayman Islands English.
both places are expensive as they are the most develop here in the region.

You have a degree what is it Law er,Doctor,Teacher,Engineer etc; what is it?
By you having a degree that is even more of an advantage especially in business.
What i would advis you to do is not work for any one start your own business ( You may not like your paye ), by doing so you'll be better off,plus you can decide when you want to move.

Starting your own business also give you a lot of clout which means you may even come in contact with Government officials,of course there may be frustration,or hard times but the advantage out way them far and wide.
My advice is to research which country you want to move to and check there economic conditions what booming and what are potential money maker/something to break a monopoly,give your self at least three to five years if your some one who doesn't have capital to invest right away.
work in the US first save a few dollars and invest it,this is called building a solid financial foundation.
So that if it doesn't work out in the region were ever you decide,you can fall back at home.
However if you feel the need to get a job do a research you should be just find.

These are some really good places to to relocate to;Barbados,Bahamas,Antigua,Turks and Caicos islands,Jamaica and Trinidad/any dependency territory of US/UK.

Answer 5

first of all, you should learn to use the "spell check" button on all correspondence. Sending out a resume where you mis-spell university (unviersty) and Caribbean (caribean) in the first sentence will lower your chance of a job to zero.

The Caribbean is a large area made up of independent countries, Territories and dependencies. A lot depends on what nationality you are. American? You can move to Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands tomorrow. EU? Martinique and Guadalupe and St Martin are as French as Lombardy or Normandy. Other independent island nations....Antigua, St Lucia, Grenada for example........ have restrictions on allowing foreigners in, just as any country does.
