Bahamas

The hottest and most desirable expat destinations!

Have you ever swum with wild pigs or hugged a grouper? These are just a few of the unique experiences that the Bahamas has to offer. During our stay in Green Turtle Cay, we had the chance to witness these natural phenomena. The locals keep the pigs watered, and watching them swim in the bay despite their wild nature is fascinating. With over 700 Islands, 30 of these inhabited, each with its own unique charm, and the planet's third-largest barrier reef running northwest to southwest for 760 miles, the Bahamas is a paradise for unique water experiences.

Healthcare

Health care in the Bahamas can be more expensive, and we usually recommend private health insurance coverage. There are international health Insurance providers who can assist expats. There are some public medical programs provided to expats living in the Bahamas, depending on your residency status, called the National Health Insurance (NHI) program. You may qualify for this program and combine it with supplemental insurance for any additional costs.
