Moving to Jamaica

Summary: Many expats and digital nomads move to Jamaica for its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and vibrant culture. The most popular cities for expats and digital nomads in Jamaica are Kingston, Montego Bay, and Negril. People looking for a place to live in Jamaica can search online for rental listings, contact real estate agents, or look for postings on local expat forums. Additionally, many expats and digital nomads find housing through word of mouth from other expats and digital nomads already living in Jamaica.
What do I need to know before moving to Jamaica?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Jamaica, they said:
"I'm sure that others have advised this, but I would suggest that you rent a place initially until you've spent a year or two in JA and you're sure that you want to settle there permanently. I really wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, and I would definitely not commit to moving all your hard earned monies to JA," remarked one expat who made the move to Jamaica.
