Hi everyone
We are currently living in South Africa. I am a South African, and my wife is a US citizen. We have a 3 year old daughter who speaks English, Afrikaans and French.
We are selling our business here and we are thinking of moving to Reunion for a few months.
I am in the process of becoming a Dive Master, but also have many other skills and experience, mainly in the Arboriculture/Tree climbing field, as well as in rope access, rock climbing, and tour guiding fields.
My wife plans to do remote medical coding, but I would have to do some kind of work, so my questions are:
1) What does it cost to rent a small apartment/house in Reunion, nothing fancy, the bare basics.
2) Is it easier to come and visit and check things out first, and then apply for a work permit once there?
3) Are there many dive operators (can't seem to find many online), and if so, would they be interested in employing a Dive Master?
4) Are there any qualified arborists/tree climbers on the island, and if not, is there a need for such a service?
Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
