Celebrating Antigua and Barbuda's Independence · 1 November
Pigeon Point, Tobago
Tell Jo where you are starting and where you want to go. We will help you work out what to check first, and organise the flights, papers and arrival details around it.
We explain the process and organise the arrangements. The offices, schools, employers and banks make their own decisions.
Independence Day · 1 November
Antigua and Barbuda gained independence from the United Kingdom on 1 November 1981.
From Antigua and Barbuda to opportunities across CARICOM, Expeditions With Jo helps CARICOM citizens make their next move, with support to visit, work, or study with a clear plan.
So as you can tell from the video, I am Grenadian. I moved to Trinidad in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, which made that process about as painstaking as it gets. Then I moved again to Jamaica in 2025. Before deciding either time, I worked through what all twelve CSME countries require, so I was choosing rather than guessing.
You’d be working with someone who has actually done this, not just read about it, and who knows where the pitfalls and the unnecessary administrative delays usually are.*
Travelling itself is the easy part. As a former travel agency owner, I handle that side for you with no fuss: flights, ground transfers, accommodation. My rates usually come in lower than what you’d pay elsewhere.
To be clear about that: I cannot speed up or override anybody’s process. What I can do is make sure the only waiting you do is the waiting that is built in, rather than extra weeks caused by something missing or wrong in your application.
People I have helped so far
As of September 2026. Every arrangement still depends on the decisions of the offices, schools and employers involved.
If anyone in this line of work promises you a certificate, a visa or a job, walk away.
What it costs to live there, and what to expect once you land.
The most industrialised CARICOM state and the most populous, and home of the world’s biggest Carnival and the steelpan.
Visiting, working, studying and marrying each follow a different process, with different rules. Pick the one that fits you.
A holiday, family, or a short work trip. We check what your passport needs for that country, then sort the flights and somewhere to stay.
See what visiting involvesThis usually starts with the Skills Certificate. We work out whether it applies to you, what your destination asks for, and what to do first.
Free movement does not cover study, so this is a different process. We help with the school, the permit, and getting you there.
Somewhere you have always loved, or back home where your family came from. We handle the licence, the paperwork, everybody’s travel and the planner for the day.
What applies to you depends on your passport, where you are going and why. Two people on the same flight can face completely different requirements.
No mystery to it.
Where you are, where you want to go, and why. Usually enough to start.
Which route fits your situation, and what the office handling it will ask you for.
Papers in order, flights booked, somewhere to stay, transfers arranged. As much or as little as you want.
I help you get your documents in order, put the application together, and once something is approved, carry it out. What I cannot do is approve it. A CSME certificate, a student permit, a place at a school, a bank account, a tenancy: each one is somebody else’s decision, and nobody outside those offices can promise you an answer.
Three levels, from a conversation to the whole move handled. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Start here if you are not sure which route applies to you. We talk it through and you leave knowing what to do first, and roughly what the whole thing involves.
