Does anyone have any info on requirements /regulations to practice massage in Jamaica. I am licensed here in US and was wanting to know if I would be able to use this to make a living in Negril area. I also have enough clothing in my house to open a thrift store here in the US lol. How well could selling second hand name brand clothing do? Thanks for any info!

You have to register a business and get a work permit. don't know about licensing for massage... Doubt you could 'make a living' doing this in Negril. Seems like similar folks do it for the winter season or 8 months max (with 2-3 months being very low earnings), then return to their home country to earn more/faster money to fund their return to Jamaica.

I hear there are a couple thrift stores around but I haven't been to them. I think it would do well. Most businesses are under-advertised. You need to register a business and get a work permit.
