Hi!
I’m Jamaican, and I am self-employed as independent author. I used to work in Tortola for a couple years. Have been back home for about three years now, and I really, really miss the BVI.
I am writing to find out of there is a way for someone to stay in the country as a self-employed person. Sans work permit?
I was told about CARICOM, but the my knowledge, the BVI is only an associate and not a full member of CARICOM.
Do you know if self-employers who simply love the country can apply for a way to stay there?
Thanks!

Hello Arice,
As far as I know, the ways to live in the BVI are via work permit, trade license, dependency on a partner working here with a permit, property ownership and marriage to a BVIslander.
This could be your way in but I’m not entirely sure it would work well: http://bvinewbie.com/starting-a-business/
Thanks very much for your question
