Moving to Jamaica

Jamaica is a paradise for travelers and emigrants alike – whether seeking relaxation or adventure. It’s no wonder that many Europeans look to Jamaica for happiness. Those who have decided to emigrate to Jamaica should be aware that a visa for Jamaica is indispensable. Upon entry to Jamaica, there’s a distinction between a short-term visa for tourists and a long-term visa for employment. European nationals do not require a visa for entry and stays of up to 30 days for business or up to 90 days for tourist purposes. An extension can be applied for on-site for a fee. For business stays exceeding 30 days, the work visa must be applied for in advance by the future employer. Additionally, a valid residence permit is required, which not all foreigners may receive. Good chances are available for self-employed individuals and investors who can demonstrate sufficient financial resources to establish a company. We, the team at OTC Global GmbH, are happy to advise you on all aspects of your move to Jamaica.

Generally, Jamaica offers emigrants high standards and interesting salaries that are certainly worth considering: A manager in a four- or five-star resort, for example, can expect to earn about 45,000 euros annually – often including free room and board. Incomes up to 100,464 Jamaican dollars are tax-free, after which taxes of 25 percent apply. Additionally, 6.5 percent is payable for the National Housing Plan, education and training, and the National Insurance Scheme.
