Moving to Barbados

12 years ago
Hi all

My boyfriend and I are considering moving to Barbados for approx 3 months from the end of this year (arriving just before Christmas).

We are trained/skilled in various industries however we'd be keen for resort jobs or something similar if that's possible.

We're New Zealand citizens but currently living in the USA on a 12 month work visa.

I see cost of living is high and visas are difficult to get. How impossible is this dream? Will it be incredibly hard to get a visa and a job? How much money should we have saved to make this work?

Just interested in exploring this possibility at the moment so any advice or information would be hugely appreciated

Thanks!
