Carribean resorts entice remote workers

here's your chance to relocate to Punta Cana LINK

The Barbados Welcome Stamp, announced in July, will allow foreigners—including Americans—to live and work in the Caribbean country tax-free for one year. Geared toward employees working remotely, the Welcome Stamp isn’t cheap—it costs $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for families—but allows for unlimited exit and re-entry during the year, as well as free public school access for visa-holders’ children under the age of 12. It is designed, said Eusi Skeete, U.S. director of Barbados Tourism, to stimulate the economy on the island, where tourism represents 14% of the country’s GDP.

Bermuda is also hoping to lure long-term travelers to its shores. On Aug. 1, the British territory launched a new Work From Bermuda certificate program, which will allow travelers to live and work from its pink sands for 12 months. It costs $263 and holders will be exempt from income tax. “No need to be trapped in your apartment in a densely populated city with the accompanying restrictions and high risk of infection,” wrote E. David Burt, Bermuda’s premier, in a letter on the certificate’s application page. “Come spend the year with us working or coding on the water.”

Resorts, too, are rolling out programs geared toward remote work, and remote schooling for the kids. In Punta Mita, Mexico, a 1,500-acre community in the Riviera Nayarit, homeowners have access to private tutors and an on-site micro-school. That perk has convinced residents like Emmanuelle Boutin Rossetto, who owns a vacation home there with her husband, to stay indefinitely with their 5-year-old son. Nearby, the Four Seasons Punta Mita now offers “schoolcations,” complete with after-school sports; the upcoming Conrad Punta de Mita, which debuts Sept. 1, will do so with packages for both parents and kids: WFP (Work from Paradise) and LFP (Learn from Paradise), which includes faster Wi-Fi and daily resort credits to spice up the hours between conference calls and geometry class alike.

Spend a month at the Eden Roc Cap Cana, in the Dominican Republic, and you’ll get complimentary Spanish and piano lessons for the kids with the resort’s “Family Staycation” package. But keep in mind that the Dominican Republic—as well as Bermuda and Barbados—require visitors either show proof of a negative Covid-19 test upon arrival or quarantine for 14 days.

This is going to continue to be popular along with other countries and destinations in the US that people have always wanted to live.
Work from home remote work is going to continue to explore in popularity allowing people to live wherever they want.

If I was single and kidless I would be all over this

Who wouldn’t want to have the option to literally work from wherever they want? If I’m a kid I would love for my parents to have a remote working opportunity to live in a very special place.

I'd rather work in remote Idaho although I understand I'm probably in the minority.

How much does it cost to buy citizenship in Italy? Real estate is pretty cheap in Positano.

I would drink entirely too much if lived like that

I promise to do this if Biden wins.

Just heard one of my old employees is doing this is the Dominican Republic (I think he wife is a citizen)

Bermuda isn't in the Caribbean.

Sounds great but probably won't be too popular. Even when working from home taxes/insurance makes it difficult to work from another country

Sounds awesome but I cant see it being a permanent thing for a lot of people.
1. You dont have modern infrastructure, i.e. hospitals, roads,water systems, electrical grids
2. You're have a hard time at forming communities of like minded people
3. Your kids dont grow up around other kids
4. If you ever have a serious illness you'll need to go back to the states to consult with respected experts
5. Despite the fact that our politicians are pieces of shite, politicians in other countries are just as much if not more pieces of shite
6. Security in a corrupt political state isnt near what it is in the US.
7. Shipping from places like amazon. Say goodbye to 2-day amazon shipping or having access to the latest products in a secure manner.

The most popular hobby for people that live on the islands does seem to be drinking.

How fast and reliable is the internet there?
