Business and History

In a previous report on Residency I failed to talk about visiting with a passport visa. Most people coming to the island for the first time come on a normal visa. This type of document allows one to visit for a period of 90 days after which you have to leave the country for at least 3 days before returning. Upon leaving the country a fee of $37 per person is charged.

I'm trying to make our blog a general information center for Roatan. There seems to be 3-6 questions weekly on Trip Advisor and I thought maybe I can help people find the answer to their questions or at least advise them who to contact for the information they are seeking by creating this blog as a kind of information center. As a part of this report I want to periodically high light various business's on the island.

If you are seeking to find out more information on Roatan and are finding it difficult to get your questions answered to your satisfaction email us those questions and we will do our best to get the correct answer for you.

One of the features of this blog will be to periodically highlight a business on the island. We feel this will be a service to those trying to make contact with a service that they may need or want. TJ Lynch of Buyroatan.com has put together a number of videos which have a lot of useful information on them. We encourage everyone to view as many as they can.

As promised we will touch a little in this report on the history of the island and will continue with more in next entry. Credit needs to be given to Maria Fiallos for writing Roatan Relocation & Relocation Guide available on Kindle through Amazon.com

The Bay Islands were originally inhabited by Paya Indians, a semi nomadic tribe that lived in non-permanent structures, and carried out subsistence farming and fishing and traded with other tribes.

The first recorded interaction between the Paya and Europeans was in 1502 when Christopher Columbus,during his fourth voyage to the new world, landed on Guanaja and traded with them for food supplies and water.
