Well, My wife and I have been talking about moving to Bonaire for sometime now. I put my house on the market here KY with the listing starting On Dec 1st. We have lots of questions as to how to go about a move to bonaire the correct way. The move will not happen until sometime in the upcoming summer.

Hello Cory and a big welcome to BT. I don't know your situation, but have you ever lived on an island the size of Bonaire? Island living is really different then living within the lower 48.

I think the advice of renting for a few months is wise...dont forget to read Dont Stop the Carnival...Bonaire is not anything like rural America...

On a side note... What if we came in under the 90 days, Rented for that time and used it to get everything else established? Can that be done? We could bring all the required documents with us and start the process as soon as we get there for residentcy, then have our container shipped over once it's gotten. Seems to be the way to do it. The hard part for us is going to be the flying back and forth with a newborn and a 2 year old. Which is another reason I would like to know if it is possible to come over myself and get the stuff started, or if My wife has to come with the first trip also?

Cory, welcome to Bonaire Talk Do a search through Moving to Bonaire topic area, there are loads of information on the questions you are asking. I think with the new government changes coming, it seems that things are a bit different and maybe even a little more difficult. Just my observation by reading and listening to stories.

Cory, I say follow your heart! When I first set foot on Bonaire almost 20 yrs. ago, I turned to my dive buddy and said "I want to live here" and I had not seen ANYTHING of the island. About 10yrs ago, my brother and I purchased our house on Bonaire. Now I am just counting down the days until I can retire and spend the rest of my life on Bonaire! Go for it!
