Cotton Bay - Bahamas

The Bahamas is an archipelago of 700 islands and more than 2,000 cays, with a subtropical climate. It stretches from 60 miles off the southeast coast of Florida in a 750 mile arc towards the northern edge of the Caribbean. The Bahamas is the closest Caribbean destination to the US mainland. The Commonwealth of the Bahamas is a free and democratic sovereign state, which has had a stable government for over 280 years.

Below is a list of benefits of purchasing your dream home in The Bahamas:

* The Bahamas is an English speaking country with a history of stable governance.
* The Bahamian dollar is on par with the U.S. dollar.
* Tax incentives: The Bahamas is a tax-benevolent country, in which there are no taxes on income, capital gains, inheritance, profit remittance, corporate, royalties, sales, personal income, dividends, payroll or interest.
* Accelerated consideration of applications for annual or permanent resident status for owners of residences valued at more than $500,000. In addition, an annual homeowner’s card is available for all non-Bahamian owners of residences. This card facilitates immigration formalities at all Bahamian ports of entry and entitles the homeowner, his/her spouse and minor children to enter and remain in the Bahamas for the duration of the validity of the card.
