Allowing strategic immigration for job growth.

One key part of developing Gonave is to allow immigration that builds the economy.  If Gonave is allowed to become a SAR, it can control immigration policies that affect Gonave specifically.

An idea would be to allow someone from another country the right to abode, if they meet certain requirements to bring employment to Gonave..  This could be that they have to have a specific net worth, have an already proven established business, have a financial reserve that will support their business, and have a minimum number of employees that make a wage range.

Some initial countries would be places where the French language was used.  While many in Haiti may not use French, it could be a cultural bridge.  Countries similar like Vietnam, many citizens don't use French, but some do.

For example, if someone from Vietnam wanted to bring a shop to Gonave, and has the experience, to run that shop, and has all start-up costs, training fees, and sound financials, they could bring that business to Gonave.  With the quick retail infrastructure of using shipping containers for retail, or the Hurko Co. development plan, opening small shops will be very affordable.

While this will build the economy, it also builds infrastructure, as well as bringing a diverse people to Gonave.  While the number of immigrants would be small initially, the program will be flexible year to year.  There will be also clawback measures in place to make sure that immigrants don't up and leave quickly without protecting Gonave.  The immigrant would have to bring jobs with them that will employ local Gonavians. 

Some of these policies will allow the immigrant to move their family or a specific number of people who they would sponsor.  Meaning they would have to provide enough housing, and income to take care of the people they sponsor.

Other ideas would be to have immigrants pay to stay.  A program where they commit to a specific number of years, and pay the Gonave government to live.  These persons would have to be able to financially support themselves.

Potentially the program will allow a specific number of new outside businesses per year, which again doesn't cost Gonave or the people of Gonave any money.

There are many ideas, and building the economy doesn't mean that Gonave would have to finance this completely.  Allowing for immigration programs that benefit Gonave is something that is very important.

Go Gonave!
