Where to start.. NYC to TmT

8 years ago

Hi, my gf who is a doctor in Trinidad has had a setback in medical exams needed to practice in the States. Its looking more like I will have to move to Trinidad to be with her, which I am totally open to.

Of course to live there permanently I have several reservations that frankly I don't have during the annual carnival time visit, Cost of living (why are electronics so expensive), safety ( namely locals taking advantage of "Yankee boys"), bureaucracy (can this New Yorker ever get used to hours to get personal matters done in POS), transport (stuck in traffic all morning and no uber), and of course employment opportunities...(is the island forever tied to the rise and fall of oil and gas prices)?

Gripes aside, I don't know how to begin in a relo effort.

I am a well compensated IT person in an MBA program that can be completed remotely.

Visas, work permits, ex-pat recruitment, how might this all work? My US social security, investments, taxes, what happens with all of that?
