FAQ
There are immigration programs that would allow qualifying applicants to relocate their immediate family. Group family requests can be submitted simultaneously under the guidelines of Family Reunification. It’s important to note that the primary applicant must have sufficient means of income to support him/herself as head of household as well as additional family dependents. If you obtained residency and subsequently wanted to bring in your immediate family under the Family Formation guidelines, this may be possible once the request has been submitted within the first year of issuance of your residency permit, assuming all other remaining criteria have been met.
The answer is yes, depending on the purchase price and market value of the property. In both instances, the minimum threshold is USD 255,000 in order to qualify. The purchase price has to be substantiated by the notarial deed of transfer and a valuation report by a locally licensed appraiser may be required to support the market value.
Absolutely yes! St. Maarten, like its Caribbean counterparts, boasts spectacular beaches and a laid-back lifestyle. Retirees love the great selection of restaurants, food and beverage, and stocked supermarkets – especially the European flair with the assortment of wine, cheese, and gourmet items. St. Maarten is also duty-free and property tax-free which makes it a preferred destination for retirees.

We used BrightPath to help us get our residency on Sint Maarten. They are amazing! The process is long, arduous and includes a mountain of paperwork. They walked us through every step and made it painless for us. They even had to dress me for the Government meeting as I was showing shoulders which is not acceptable! They thought of everything! I would definitely highly recommend them to anyone needing immigration or residency assistance.

While the process to obtain our permanent residency permits took longer than anticipated, BrightPath Caribbean representatives supported us throughout the process. There were many factors that contributed to this length of time including misplaced mail by UPS, U.S. and St. Maarten Government bureaucracies amplified by Covid restrictions, longer USPS delivery times, and additional documents requested by the St. Maarten Government, and the need to attach an Apostille to the original documents. Throughout the process, all company representatives were respectively professional, knowledgeable, and congenial.
Initially, I felt that the fees were high, but I subsequently understood the value of their services, expertise, and professional relationships that helped us navigate through the residency requirements that ensured a smooth process… Our investment in BrightPath Caribbean saved us unnecessary costs, delays, and stress.

If you have come to Sint Maarten, and fallen for its very particular beauty, charm, and friendliness, and have gone another step further and either bought, rented, or leased a home or other dwelling, then you perhaps have already considered obtaining permanent residency, as we did. The process can be daunting, and it is one we found quickly that we needed help with. The wonderful, professional, and talented staff at BrightPath Caribbean guided us every step, and brought us across the finish line in spite of COVID-19 and other obstacles. We highly recommend BrightPath.
