Dreaming of turquoise waters, swaying palm trees, and a life filled with the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico? Moving to Puerto Rico, Second Edition (Revised February 2025) is your comprehensive guide to making that dream a reality. This isn't just another travel brochure; it's a practical, hands-on manual for anyone seriously considering relocating to the Island of Enchantment. This updated edition covers everything from navigating the surprisingly simple legal process (no passport needed for US citizens!) to understanding the nuances of island life, like island time and the importance of learning at least basic Spanish. This book tackles the nitty-gritty details, including housing options, shipping your belongings, the pros and cons of bringing your car, pet import procedures, the job market, healthcare, education, and even disaster preparedness. It's your one-stop resource for a smooth and successful transition to island living.
Beyond the practicalities, Moving to Puerto Rico delves into the heart of Puerto Rican culture. Learn essential Spanish phrases, discover the best spots for mofongo and lechón, and get ready to embrace the joy of chinchorreo. This guide offers insider tips on exploring the island, from the bustling streets of San Juan to the secluded beaches of Vieques and Culebra, highlighting hidden gems and local favorites you won't find in typical tourist guides. It also addresses common mistakes newcomers make, helping you avoid potential pitfalls and adapt to the island's unique rhythm. This book is packed with practical advice, cultural insights, and a healthy dose of humor, preparing you not just to survive, but to truly thrive in your new Puerto Rican paradise.
Whether you're envisioning a bustling city life in San Juan or a tranquil escape in a smaller coastal town, this book provides the tools you need to make the right choices for your lifestyle and budget. Learn about the island's unique tax advantages, including no federal income tax on island-sourced income, and discover the best strategies for finding work or embracing the remote work lifestyle. This second edition includes updated information on utilities, staying connected, and important resources to ensure you have the most current details for your move. Get ready to trade in your snow shovel for a surfboard and embrace the magic of Puerto Rico.
