I am working on starting a farm in Jamaica. The reason I want to start my own business is that it would be a shame to take a job away from a local. I would much rather focus on creating jobs. Anyway, it is very hard to get a work permit there. You have to have a "special skill"; something that a Jamaican could not do. The longest you can stay in Jamaica without a job is six months. If you have a special skill, then they would most welcome you. It is hard, but JAH! ya gotta try!!!
Good luck. I would visit the Jamaican government website for more info. Also see
www.escapeartist.com they have great information and resources for people who want to move out of the USA. PEACE AND LOVE.
