Firstly Madagascar = off the coast of Africa not the Caribbean.

Secondly if you are talking about the 15 islands which have signed the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) treaty.

(See those 15 below.)
Antigua and Barbuda
Bahamas
Barbados
Belize
Dominica
Grenada
Guyana
Haiti
Jamaica
Montserrat
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Lucia
St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Suriname
Trinidad and Tobago

In the case of those you'd have to be a citizen of those countries to work there in *most* cases....

The easiest way to become a citizen of those places:

1) Be born there,
2) married to a person from there,
3) possibly having parents from there at which time you might be able to apply for dual citizenship...
4) If you do get to work in that country for a long time, you could file for perm. residency.
After you gain Perm. residency-- you can then later file for citizenship in some cases a few years later.....

The other way......
Getting sponsored directly by a company..

The citizens of that country- legally have the right to any job first... If it cannot-- be or is not filled by ay person from that country, the employeer can goto phase II.

Phase II... Means that the employer must put out a bid to all other nations in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM)...

If they can't find anyone in CARICOM... Then the company may recruit or offer the job internationally. At which time you'd have to file for a work permit in that specific CARICOM country and when your job is done you'd likely have to leave.

Madagascar is in the Indian Ocean.
Before thinking about working in the Caribbean I would suggest geography lessons for yourself.

Madagascar happens to be an island for which it is exceptionally difficult to obtain a work permit and most people who go there go as volunteers under the auspices of a charitable organisation, either something like IVS or VSO or working for the church. That means having some useful skill, such as being able to teach or help in conservation. By the way, it is nowhere near the Caribbean. It is in the Indian Ocean.

As far as the Caribbean islands are concerned, to obtain a job and a work permit you have to offer services which locals are either unable or unprepared to provide. First choose your island and then enquire further.

A friend of mine did it for years, they have a very relaxed attitude out there and he had a great time.

most Caribbean islands require to obtain a work permit. Most permits are issued to people who apply to work on the island "doing something that no other islander can or would do". A fee is involved--in Antigua the fee is $5,000.00 USA currency. It can take a considerable amount of time--it took me two years to acquire a work permit in Antigua. Living there is another issue. good luck

It depends what job you there and how easy or hard you find it. One person could find a certain job easy due to being a natural at it and someone else find it difficult.
