THE BASICS
BEFORE MOVING

Kingston and Montego Bay are the most expensive cities for living in Jamaica. On average the prices compare as following: a furnished apartment in a classy area will cost you a little less than €500 per month, while the same apartment in a more run-down area will cost you about €300 per month.
LIVING IN JAMAICA
The cost of living in Jamaica is much lower than in countries such as the USA or Canada. However, that doesn’t mean that everything is cheap. Expats living in Jamaica can find many items from the UK and the USA, but the prices are way higher. So, when you want to save money on food, buy local products and buy in bulk. This way, you can easily save on your cost when living in Jamaica.
Do you need to send documents urgently to Jamaica to help secure a place to stay before moving?
The most significant sector in Jamaica is tourism, which comes as no surprise with the number of tourists that visit Jamaica each year. When your profession is in the field of education, finance, engineering or medicine, you will have a fair chance to find a job in Jamaica. If you’re looking for a job in Jamaica as a foreigner, it is vital that you are fluent in English.
For expats moving to Jamaica with children, one of the key considerations will be the location of good schools. There are both private and public schools in Jamaica, but the basic school system is the same for all children. Keep in mind that for children aged 1-6, there is pre-school, which is not obligatory.
In general healthcare in Jamaica is free. However, Jamaican healthcare system is not of high quality across the country. Hospitals with high standards are only available in Kingston and Montego Bay. Most Jamaicans lack the funds to pay for private medical care, but whoever can afford it, uses it. For expats living in Jamaica, it is recommended to use private insurance, which gives you access to the best hospitals and clinics in the country.
Jamaican drivers are hasty and careless. Besides that, the roads are not always in perfect condition, especially when you go into the mountains. When you don’t want to let those things stop you, take a look at the basic things you need for driving in Jamaica.
