It a blessing to hear that Jamaicans want to come home but my advice to you all is :if you can afford it buy a house in a community that you are not from buy it,why? Most time when you are from a community, leave and come back, people think that you owe them something. If you live somewhere else then you avoid all of that and might be able to enjoy the money that you work so hard for over the years.

Yes Morris, I was recently in Jamaica and was sorely disappointed too. I had savings at JTA and wanted to get a loan to buy property. I had a great balance in my account but they wanted a title (I don’t buy the land yet) among other things. Short story, I had to withdraw most of my shares to finance my business. Next, I went to Jamaica National New Kingston branch to open an account. I waited over an hour just to see a teller, she started the process, asked me for proof of who I am. I gave my US passport, my TRN, my pay stubs, my job letter, utility bills, NIS number, A state ID, and these were NOT enough to open the account. They wanted a Jamaican passport that was current too. I had an account with them and they found the account online. But, they still denied me the account. They discourage returning residents opening accounts with them. Well, I wanted the convenience of having the same bank in New York to transact business. Suffice to say, I went to Scotia bank (Liguanea) to open an account. Same documents presented. Account opened!!! Big up Scotia Bank!!!

So many people can't believe l just upped and moved back home after so many years, there was so much negativity but God has been good to me and home is where my heart has always been and l wanted to spend my money in my home country. I used to visit Canada often before the Pandemic as l have lots of relatives there. The system in JA really needs improvement.

Hi Mi Chef friend! I want to tell you to keep planning and making Decisions that are first guided by our GOD, family centered and self gratifying. My grandmother always said, “If a man has a plan, a good woman will follow him anywhere!” In other words, some men lack direction and rely on other things including the woman to make all decisions for his family. He is not sure of his role as a man, leader, husband and father, the provider. Right. So families are often time over stressed and destroyed as a result of this. As long as you keep GOD first and allow Him to order your steps, YOU and all things attached to you will be ever blessed by GOD(cars, health, finances, family, everything Mi friend!). Thanks for sharing. Nuf love from Dallas, Texas ✋🏽🙏🏽❤️✋🏽🤗

The US govt is watching you even if you live in Jamaica. The other day a house in Whitehouse Jamaica was raided and $600 million US dollars was found stacked in a bedroom from floor to ceiling.

Joan, what credit union did you use? I was back home in May & went to update my information on my joint account I opened with my mother when I was a preteen before migrating to Canada. Despite having my IDs, bill showing my address, pay information they still wouldn’t update my info & asking for 2 people to vouch for me in JA! I’m like, I haven’t lived in JA since I was 13, I don’t know any Pastor or accountant etc. Plus my aunt is a vice principal & they said I can’t use her. Mind you I work for a major financial institution in Canada for over almost 2 decades and they wouldn’t update my information. I found this mind boggling as I’m already on the account and not even opening a new account. Such a turn off. I’d rather open an account with a credit union as you suggested.

Real talk. Was in Jamaica 6 yrs ago. Tried opening an account to start the transitioning process. Brought pay stubs to prove I've been working the same job for over 20 yrs. plus proof of my assets in NYC. Got denied with some excuse about the law pertaining to the money laundering act. Believe me when I say both managers are ppl I went to school with in Ja. I just flew back to NYC with my money and said though my family has commercial n residential properties . Ja is a no ,no for investment. Try having to do other businesses and having to make multiple trips, the immigration employees act like, one should not come back home, the level of harrassment. One even tell me that's what happens when you not travelling on the Ja book and I should get one. I responded , the U.S. book takes me anywhere without a problem only here. I also brought to her attention that we have assets there n my book specify that place of birth is Ja. so don't tell me I frequent my main home too much. I provide jobs each time I am here cause I am doing major construction . I reinterated that u can't transplant peas n it produce corn. I also quoted Bob Marley's song " Dem a go tired fi see mi face." Now that I stop working, seriously thinking to retire elsewhere cause can' t bother with the foolishness. Even my younger sisters who are in Ja often and would love to partners with the hospital n give free medical assistance to our ppl who cant afford it. Try donating supplies to a facility or hospital the red tapes make it virtually impossible. The minstry of Health should allow the administrator to clear these aid at the wharves without a glitch. We know better never to try that again. U gotta pay to sent it n leave go down to pay for it then gift it to the hospital administrator. SICK

Good luck in your building endeavors I am frustrated daily by this process and the prices increase every 48,hrs so if you see something you like at a decent price but it them and store it especially if you have the place to keep it. Plus depending on which parish you're in the price varies it seems everything in Portland is twice the price of any other Parish

Congratulations in achieving your goals. Perseverance is the key to success. Oh yes, Jamaica needs to do much better when dealing with residents who live overseas. You may want to look into getting a piece of heavyweight plastic and a couple of milk crates to carry coconut and other items in the car trunk. It's has saved me the hassle of detailing my vehicle after carrying sod, plants etc. May God bless you richly as you strive in all your endeavors. Thanks for sharing.

The minister of finance needs to first provide a SENSIBLE explanation to the CITIZENS of Jamaica, who just happen to have a foreign address, why they are treated with such disrespect, if/ when try try to do business with one of the excuse for financial institutions in the country of their birth. If you think it’s bad being denied a loan…imagine being denied the opportunity to open a savings account and put honestly earned money INTO a Jamaican bank, to open a savings account, on the grounds that I was not currently employed(because I had resigned from my work shortly prior to that)…even tho I could show proof of regular paychecks coming from an employer and electronically deposited into my foreign accounts for MANY years. So if you worked for many years abroad and saved the money your earned…and then decide you want to use some of that honestly earned money to open a SAVINGS account in Jamaica, expect to face the possibility of spending half the day on line (some of it even waiting outside 🙄), only to be rejected by TWO different banks. I went from feeling shocked, to feeling angry, and now I just feel a deep sense of embarrassment mixed with DISGUST, that the land of my birth is being run with such arrogance, stupidity, sloppiness, and financial negligence.

So when I go to the bank that account is still there and I tried to end it because they were giving me such a hard time but I’m glad I did not cancel it and so it’s working for me when I go back-and-forth so you’re right if you have an account or even as a child keep that account active put some money in it because it’s another thing they’ll shut it down if you don’t have money going in and then it takes a long time to get it up again so keep it active OK

Also, bare in mind that the banks are now mostly governed by the U.S. banking rules. According to the U. S. It’s to prevent “money laundering.” Therefore, we will have to work extremely hard to lobby the financial institutions to find ways to make transitioning into the Jamaican system a little easier for those wanting to do business in Jamaica.

God bless you my son. And it's not only your thoughts that you should go to Jamaica and set the pace,but it was God's holy spirit that led you. My son I'm in the U.S.A for nearly 40 years, getting my pension in Jamaica, so i though/ ok so when I'm retired here with pension and social security, i will be able to get my house in Jamaica. My pension goes in the bank,Sagicor to be exact. When i called them they told me oh yes Ms.Small you can get a loan 100%. After they were told my age,they turned me down saying I'm too old,at 60+ . But my child could buy the house for me in her name. Im so dissatisfied, disappointed, what if my daughter's credit is not up to par? Jamaica needs to wake up,then they telling us to invest there and come they're waiting for us.Could you go also into this area and see if you can make a video on these situation? May the dear Lord continues to lead ,direct and covers you and family. In Jesus's name.

Very honest. I myself lives both in Canada and Jamaica. I noticed a few negative comments regarding Jamaica financial policies which is no different from here in Canada or the United States for all Self Employed Persons. A minimum of 6 months to 2 years income is requires for loans. I do not recommend any returning residents in applying for financial aid in the form of loans or anything else. PLEASE alway have available funds to be self reliant in any country because it will be extremely hard. Please maintain excellent credit in Canada as a back up. I wish you the best on your journey and welcome back to Jamaica 🇯🇲

Knowing Jamaica and the culture, one can adjust and most of all, "pack patience" when one goes to these "government offices and banks". Yes, the "Government and Banks" have to get their system of Banking improved. I am from Kingston JA, lived in England (7 yrs)and Canada(31yrs), as the saying goes "No why huh betta dan yaad": much respect. One love. Place God first in all your plans.

10 years ago when I decided to return to Jamaica after living abroad for a number of years, I had such a difficult time resettling. I couldn't even open a bank account. It was so ridiculous. My dream was to return home for good and stay there but the system wasn't working for me.Obstacle after obstacle. I lasted a year before deciding to permanently relocate to Canada with no interest again of returning (except for visiting). I am glad that things are working out for you. Stay safe.
