Great video! I just completed my application and made my payment online. The process is so easy! 2 easy form. I screenshot and send in everything. Thank you NHT
I have the app I just got mine but I can’t pay on the app how I pay it online? Because when I wanna pay online it want me to fill out more forms help me😩
This keeps changing. I started in the pandemic, all online. My mom did afterwards, first payment had to be in Jamaica in person. So just check before going forward. Also online uploads take at least 3 trys.
I see a problem where if someone make contributions in the overseas voluntary contributions and misses a payment deadline, such a person will NOT be eligible for a loan, even though I would have paid all the required payments. I know that the contributions are there, but they would not have access to a loan, which is the purpose of contributing from overseas
I believe once you are contributing for 12 or 24 months ( length of time dependent on if you were previously contributing or not) consecutively without missing a payment then you should meet the eligibility criteria in that regards
Very informative and long overdue information. I live overseas and have a TRN number but not an NIS number,how do I go about getting a NIS number? Can it be done online or it must be done in Jamaica?
Thank you for this information. I do have some questions. 1. How do I get a NIS# 2. How do I get a TRN# 3. I divorced over 20 years ago. My contributions were made while I was married. How does that affect my contributions, now that I have a different last name? Thank you
I have a question.. so what if I had joined with a family member to purchase a house with nht points, but years after you feel you need your own home.. can you get another loan in that aspect.
How do I obtain my NIS number? I used to be a contributor. My former place of employment is no longer in operation. I have no way to obtain this information. I contacted the NHT but I was told to have someone do it on my behalf. I’m trying to get the middle man out myself. NHT I need your help!
does anyone know how i canI obtain and NIS number if im from the states? I have a TRN but they said I couldn’t get a NIS number because I was not born to jamaican parents or parent
That is definitely NOT the reality. Oversea contributers end up paying double or more than the regular nht contributor as they must pay in the currency of the country they are in. Look at the recent nht developments and the criteria of who can apply. It isn't overseas contributors for most of them. Not to mention, their platform is always breaking down.
Not exactly, NHT prioritizes applicants who live or work in the parish of the housing scheme. Here is the link which explains their process www-2.nht.gov.jm/faqs
Thank you for clearing that up! I get that misinformed statement all the time and voluntary contributors do not have access to NHT homes just open market and it’s 6x more usually over $20M which is extremely expensive.
I went to get a estimate of how much I would have to pay and when transposed to JMD, it was way too much. Because the amount you pay is a percentage and not a fixed amount for everyone. SO yeah, it doesn't really benefit overseas contributors. Its almost better to just go with a financial institute with the high rates. @@jbarnes5707
