Hello Lisangengi,

Welcome on board !

Please note that I have created a new thread from your post on the Jamaica forum so that members can guide you.

I think that the first thing is to get in touch with immigration services to know about how you can move. You will probably need a visa and meet requirements for the visa : https://www.pica.gov.jm/

All the best,

Bhavna

@lisangengi Lisa- you can fly into Kingston or Montego bay.

as for accommodation, in the beginning, I rather you do hotels because they will offer you their taxi prefered drivers. Just to make sure you are safe. As you get to make real local friends, then you can try Airbnb. When you become pro, everything is beautiful.
