I'll be back after vacations xxx

yes, I am still here

Living and working on a tropical island in the Caribbean has its distractions. Always in a vacation mood, seeing the ocean, tourists, live bands, drinks, happy hour....do I need to say more?
15 years of living here full-time and counting people!
Aruba is The Best Island for me (any many others);
No hurricanes, just a constant breeze to keep us cool, Award winning restaurants, beaches and eco resorts, a great place to live/ retire/ work/ vacation.

Moving abroad

Moving abroad- People often ask me; "how did you do it"?
Moving to Aruba, finding a job, getting the permit, and buying a house. It is not that difficult but you need to do some research before moving, save some money, get your paperwork in order, and have a place to stay (rent) for the beginning of your stay in a new country.

I moved from the Netherlands to Spain (Southern Europe), then to Belize (Central America) and last but not least; Aruba (Southern Caribbean).

In each country the government officials need to see either; proof of income, and/ or an employer signing for you to work for them.

In order to get your residence to work or retire, there are several things needed;

a clean police record, in some countries a lung photo or another doctors proof that you have no illness that can spread, a birth certificate, a proof of income and/or savings, proof of (travel) insurance.

In Aruba there is a website where you can book an appointment with a government official, see link;
https://www.dimasaruba.aw/en/
Their language options are Dutch, English and Spanish.
On their website, Dimas provides you with information about which paperwork you need to hand in and that is also where I started myself; Dimas. After spending 10 days on the island, I knew right away; "this is where I want to live".

Within 6 months after that first visit to Aruba I moved to Aruba, rented an apartment, started to work within approx. 3 months (waiting time to get the work permit) and we are now 14 years later, and I never looked back. This sunny & friendly island makes my heart happy.
