Hi folks. Hoping for some advice and the answers to some questions. I'm looking to move abroad and Grenada is one of the places I'm considering. I do have a couple of hurdles however. To begin with, I'm on social security disability. I receive only $885 a month. Am I going to be able to survive comfortably there on that? For me, comfortable means internet and air conditioning. Also, I'm a felon and a registered sex offender in the US. Is that going to be an issue as far as residency is concerned? Before I get any snarky comments, I met a young lady in a bar nearly 20 years ago who turned out to be underage. I'm not a rapist or a child molester. Those two issues are also the reasons I want to leave the US. Any advice or answers will be much appreciated.

I havent done MUCH research on Grenada, as my parents were looking to retire there, but seeing as it is an island (with imports) I highly doubt 885 would cut it, it is not that reasonable. I recommend somewhere like Panama or Nicaragua. If you find otherwise please let me know because like I said I have only begun to research but any caribbean island is pretty much expensive!

Hi;
I've been to Grenada many times (but don't live there). In general, I think the cost of living is high compared with other areas within the Caribbean so you might struggles on an $885 income. Also, I've applied for residency and they do a thorough police background check. Unfortunately, I do not think they would be open due to approving you due to your circumstances. Please use these comments and potential guidance only and continue to do your own personal research.

Hi,
The amount quoted will not be enough for renting and cost of living and other expenses. The rate for the US is static, you wold be looking at roughly EC 2,345 a month.
