Why live in Puerto Rico?

An island in paradise and the ultimate destination for a beach lifestyle. It is officially part of the USA, but is really a country on its own with a unique character and culture.
Digital nomads love it here and so do business owners and people working in tourism. Puerto Rico has a lot to offer to a lot of people, but especially to those who love the sun, beach and a relaxing lifestyle.
Taxes are favourable, a way for the island to attract wealth and business and create a good climate for immigrants to make investments. But not just the financial climate is attractive; the weather is pretty much amazing year round and perfect for spending much of your free time on one of the many stunning beaches.
The cost of living and health care are low and Spanish and English are both official languages in the country so communicating won’t be an issue.Infrastructure is well arranged, insurance costs are low and there is just no end to the list of benefits of living on this beautiful island. It is a country of opportunities and Puerto Rico is waiting for you to take yours.
