furnished accommodation includes? by Cindycat44
Hi, My name is Cindy. My husband and I are looking into a possible move to Hopkins or Placencia for retirement. I wondered what the normal furnished apt/cabana/house includes. Ie: microwave, toaster, blender, pots, pans, dishes, etc? Linens ...
My suggestion is to always ask. It varies a lot. Sometimes it's just appliances and a couple beds and a couch, but others are much more thorough. It's probably wise to just make a list of all the things you really need to have and keep it in ... Read More
Fencing in Belize by AstridHunter
Hi Folks, We're planning to move to Belize and doing some number crunching at the moment. There are 2 lifestyles we're looking at and they are wildly different but both still appealing. The first is a gated community which is pretty ...
If you are able to be here for a while before buying and ask around with local people, you'll get a way better deal. Most belizeans don't list with real estate companies. If you're willing to be sort of remote, you can pay 1000 per acre. ... Read More

I'm not sure on this. I would imagine that if you are very knowledgeable, you may be able to find and in, but it's probably a tremendous pay cut depending on where you're coming from. Read More

Retirement or Residency Visas by Zeus.wmo
Does anyone know if Belize has a retirement visa for older people or is it just called a residence visa for persons of any age? Also, does anyone know the approximate cost of obtaining a retirement/residency visa and if an attorney is required for ...
QRP is closest, but I don't think it's what you're looking for either. Read More

Welcome @kaypeam, I generally agree with terrific's assesment. Belizeans are by and large very gossipy, but they mostly believe in letting people live how they choose because they expect the same courtesy. There's a gay couple down the beach ... Read More

Gotta try those cookies! You don't need a machete for the ripe ones, just a sharp stick sticking out of the ground. Have someone show you how to husk with a stick. Then tap around the circumference with a hammer to crack it in half. Coconut milk ... Read More

My husband and I were seriously thinking of moving to Belize until we read about all the corruption which involves politicians, police etc. When the very people that are there to protect us have fingers pointed at them as being corrupt and involved ...

Well, Will. I think talking Belize politics as it relates to expat life would probably be allowed as long as it didn't get nasty. I actually didn't delete the post, and it was about US politics, which often goes zero to hostile in about 5 ... Read More

Hi Wannes. Welcome. Starting a business in Belize is relatively straight forward, but you'll need a work permit, which I believe now requires you be in country 6 months before you can even apply. It's kind of a pain, but nothing you ... Read More
