Moving to Negril in the next year - need advice and contacts

[Bnewb]

Do not buy in Negril but look in surrounding areas. Negril is nice to visit here and there but to live in a tourist town in Ja is difficult. Drive out the Road to Sav and cruise around if you are serious. Also before Negril is Orange Bay, it's quiet there.

This is why I said it might be a good idea to rent someplace first.
I love living in Negril and live in a quiet area. I`m not sure I`d call it difficult...just different. To me Orange Bay is very similar to Negril....lots of foreigners moving into Orange Bay...

...and write everything down. I will pay for your copious and detailed notes. My DREAM is to move to Grange Hill/country someday...15 years...hear dat?

...tick tick tick tick...

well I am a foreigner LOL Orange Bay is beautiful as well. Love the market at Sav. And all the stonework along the roads.

well brasi - I am a writer of lists so you can be sure that as I learn I share and it looks like it'll be only 6 months a year till I can get permanent resident status - I'm sure I'll be waiting awhile before I hear back all the details from the govt.

You can apply to stay through the work permit exception (Spousal Waiver):

You can also apply for citizenship - here is a Gleaner article explaining the procedure:

I hope this helps!
