I was planning to apply for permanent residency & Jamaican citizenship after arriving there. Is that the wrong way to go about it? I.e. buy my retirement property, go there on a tourist visa like I always do, and apply for permanent residency there. Just myself - my wife would still be in the US - though I'll put on the application that I have a Jamaican wife. It might help, although it doesn't appear to be necessary; people do retire to Jamaica without Jamaican spouses.
However I haven't yet looked into it in detail. I am interested in any advice here, especially if I am going about it wrong.
