sunvalleyestring 03:23 UTC 04 Aug 2007 | I want to move to Tahiti but I have heard that it is impossible to get a work permit as an American citizen. Does anybody know if this is true, or if you can get around it by living somewhere else, like France itself? Thanks alot! Erin |
boraborabob 07:36 UTC 14 Aug 2007 | Yep you heard right. Only way you can hang down there more than 6 months is have a large $$ deposit in a FP bank or marry a local................ My sis and husband used to do 6 months and then Cook islands 6 months, and then back, etc. | 1
