Sunbelt Realty's web site says nothing about supplying "apostilles" to verify notarization of the medical and good conduct certificates required for residency applications. Are these really required of U.S. applicants? I fear I will not have what's required when I visit Bonaire to apply. Does anybody have current knowledge about this?

Tish - try a search on BT keyword search at bottom of this page for "Apostille". I got two hits, this thread and another one.

You might want to try residency on the search engine here or the search Bonaire site Jake set up.

Make sure your birth & marriage certificate(s) are 'new,' or at least less than six months old. They always seem to want new ones, even if you have your originals.

Thanks, Ruth!

Cash. Pretty sure they don't take checks from a U.S. bank (expensive fees to cash/deposit those here), or credit cards. If they don't take traveller's cheques you can cash them at a bank & pay with cash.

Ruth, thanks a lot for your clear answer. But now I'm confused about something else. Do I pay the residency permit fee when I apply, or do I pay it when I receive the permit?

You pay your permit fee and 'deportation" deposit when you receive the permit. It is very important to keep the actual receipt so you can get the deposit refunded when you leave the island.
