Info on the Bahamas

14 years ago
I'd like to move to the Bahamas, and would like info about the cost of living (groceries, for example), if I need a car, and the cost of car/gasoline compared to the US. I read that the Bahamas have importation duties (tariffs), which makes everything very expensive there.

And, of course, how I could legally be a permanent resident. I read that all you need to do is buy real estate of at least USD 500,000 and apply for a permanent residency, but I need to double check this and talk to someone that went thru the process.

Thanks.
