Guys,
Thanks for your input on this. There seems to be some confusion surrounding all this.But the final world belonged to the American embassy in AKL which told me that, if I intended to stay in the West Indies longer than 90 days, I would in fact need a visa if I was transiting through their country.(which I will be) For me this would involve a long and expensive trip to Auckland and 1 week processing time which is not much use because I leave tomorrow! So I'll go on the 90 day ticket which at least allows me to report for duty as arranged and deal with the rest of it later! Panama Jack, you seem like the font of all knowledge on this region-Whats the word on St Vincent? ok place to live for a while? Bear in mind I have recently completed a 2 year stint in a small dusty African town with goats and Donkeys wanderin downtown so have a little idea of different styles of living!
Regards,
JK.
