Interested in retiring in Corozal and have a few questions by ronnraymore
I am interested in retiring in Corozal and have a few questions. Would you mind sharing your wisdom. I take it we "Nortes" live in a enclave style community. Basic housekeeping questions: Water safe to drink, bath, cook, clean with? ...
I feel safe in Corozal. I take reasonable precautions. I know one woman who brought a prius to Belize. It was a mistake and she shipped it back to the USA. The vehicle that works the best here is a 4 cylinder SUV. The streets often ... Read More

Suggest that you check out the Consejo area for a short term rental. I have a friend there who has a few condos he will rent short term. The places are very nice. they are expensive by local standards. Many Canadians live in this area. Read More

If you rent for 6 mos, you are considered long term and there are people who specialize in long term rentals for tourists. You are unlikely to be able to get anything you like at a reasonable price via the internet or Facebook. Do come and stay ... Read More
Belize - can we bring $5,000 USD each without declaring? by larabeelady
Can my husband and I bring $5,000.00 USD each to Belize without having to declare when we land in Belize?
Keep in mind that if you bring US dollars to Belize and buy property with US dollars, when you want to sell, you will not be allowed to take the money out of the country. Most sales are in US dollars. Most north American buyers are unaware of ... Read More

Driving in Belize by Maximilien
Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Belize? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excess what are the characteristics of the driving style ...
there is a high incidence of drunk driving, especially after dark. Most of the expats I know in Corozal, avoid driving after dark and definitely stay off the highway. Read More
What a lovely way of saying what you think about me by DubRiley
I'm an older new husband. My young wife from Malaysia (we will get married in Belize I hope) will be having a baby in September. We're thinking of having him in Belize as I'll be working there. We'll be in Ambergris Caye so I see we ...
Cathie tells the truth... we have at least one excellent midwife in Corozal who travels around the world delivering babies. She is well experienced and a wonderful woman. Best luck to you and your new wife and soon to be child. Ambergris is the ... Read More
How to do it? by ronnraymore

Please re read what I said. never said USA was a police state. Said Belize as an undeveloped country was similar to a USA urban slum. which is true. now since you expect all of us to do all your reasearch for you and then you want to argue with ... Read More

Quintana Roo is well managed by the drug cartels. safe from kidnapping etc. for the average expat. goods and services are readily available. If you are desperate to get out of the USA, Uruguay or Ecuador may be a good idea for you. If you are ... Read More
Is oil drilling off coast of Belize coming soon? by musikmaker
Hi. Last week I crossed Belize off my list, after reading an article on an Expat.com.I read that there is a man in (from) London who has the marvelous goal of progressing Belize to the situation where the majority of its power is from sustainable ...
you would have to be here to understand the politics in this country. This will be a political decision. The population of Belizeans and ex-pats largely opposes off-shore drilling. Read More

Belizean cuisine is an oxymoron. Belizean food is rice and beans or beans and rice, with stewed chicken, pork or beef included. The lobster and conch are interesting when in season. Shrimp are farmed within the country so those are available ... Read More
Safety in Belize by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Belize? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...
I think it is important to define if one is concerned with crimes against property or crimes against persons. I live on the mainland in Corozal, where there is significant poverty. Poverty tends to lead to crimes against property, petty theft, ... Read More

Converting.... by Mikend
I have read several notes from people in or going to Belize. Why do people think they can go to another country and "convert" the locals. This missionary work did not do much good for the native folks in North America - Australia and ...
the missionarys are treated politely by Belizeans. I believe the basic premise of bringing religeon here is arrogant. Read More
