It provides qualified applicants with the opportunity to reside on the island for up to one year, with the possibility of extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Remote workers will benefit from our year-round warm climate, low crime rate, friendly neighbors, and slow pace. Here is our essential guide for living here on the Montserrat Remote Worker Stamp.<\/p>\n<p>Two telecommunications providers offer broadband internet at competitive rates to help you stay connected and deliver your projects on time. Our electricity service is reliable. However, there are moments when it does go out for short periods of time. Any scheduled outages are announced on radio. Montserrat is currently building a solar farm to improve and make our energy supply more resilient.<\/p>\n<p>Successful applicants with families can register their children to attend one of the two public primary schools. There is also a private primary school operated by the Roman Catholic Church. We also have one secondary school and a community college, if you have dependents who need to continue their education. There are no tuition fees for attending the two public primary or secondary schools. However, a one-off application fee of EC$100 must be paid for each student.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Our accommodations are diverse and range from apartments to bed and breakfasts and villas.
