Jamaica's capital on the south coast — the working city of Jamaica (distinct from the resort north coast), with a deep reggae-and-dancehall cultural anchor (Bob Marley museum, Trench Town, Tuff Gong studio). New Kingston is the commercial-and-hotel district; Stony Hill and Norbrook are the residential heights. Jamaica offers 6-month visa-free entry for many western passports; no formal DNV but the long-visa-free routes are nomad-compatible. The structural draws are Caribbean climate (warm year-round), English-speaking, US-Eastern timezone alignment. The structural filter is uneven safety — stay to the established residential corridors.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
