@Cheryl

thank you for your quick response I knew the Bahamas for the first time when I was 6 years old and interested in many stories about the Bermuda Triangle and Bahama which was one of those sides of the triangle but we never had a chance to be there I traveled to many countries but I have a strong attachment to Bahama I don't know why honestly but fell in love since I was a kid and I'm pretty  sure one day I want to live and die in there

best regards

Dear Sir Andi 19, thank you for your words, you gave me hope when I thought hope was gone. Thank you very much for helping me. how can I apply for a work visa? how do I know what abilities are needed on my part there?

with the best regards

Cheryl

@King Abdol Big Hey, there's a few lovely companies on the island that would use your skillset. Im an agent in the area and would be happy to assist with your transition.

You'd need to work on a permit, housing and perhaps residency if you'll stay long term. The trend for housing seems to be the Western side, closer to restaurants, hotels, better beaches and MUCH less traffic.

@King Abdol Big which island were you interested in moving to? If you'd like to work and be close to health care, I'd advise Nassau. The outer islands have less infrustructure, but still gorgeous! Abaco, Eleuthera and Exuma are great out island choices!
