Island living is relaxed, warm and outdoors-oriented, with beaches, lagoons, diving and village activities, although imported goods can be expensive and transport outside major towns is limited. Foreign workers normally need an approved employment permit before starting work; the employer usually sponsors or supports the application, and requirements vary by nationality and role.
