Apart from the tax advantages, me and the mrs are both considering the idea - after a recent trip to one of the neighbouring islands and the sunshine we're both quite keen on the idea now.

Isn't there some sort of requirement to have a certain amount of reasonably liquid assets available (ie not property) before you can become a resident.

Can't imagine there are good transport links and god it must feel small and isolated on a tiny rock.
