Medication in Belize by Loïc
Good morning everyone, Whether it's a simple cold or a chronic illness, medication and medicine use vary from country to country and culture to culture. When you are used to certain brands or types of drugs, being in a country like Belize ...
Fortunately my wife and I do not need any medications. I do know people that do. You cannot count on Belize having them. You need to come here and check before you move here if you must have it. I know a few people that cannot get a generic, or ... Read More

Hey everyone does anyone know current prices on Mennonite homes? Everything i find is from years ago, has anyone recently bought one? Any advice you have? Thanks in advance!!
re: Has the experience made you reconsider your decision to have a family farm and/or build a permanent home there? We still like it here. Our hope is that now that Christmas has passed they will be less aggressive to get our carry-out-food. We ... Read More

Bob: Mayan Seaside - not sure where this is. Building materials, kitchen/bath fixtures are readily available in various hardware stores on the mainland. Of course, the variety is much less than in the USA or Canada. Although supply is getting much ... Read More

We have stayed in Tampico, Veracruz, as well. We did this when we flew our 4 seater airplane around Mexico and Central America. Nice hotels and no problems. Read More

BMCraig: Maybe they saw my Belize license plate and they do not accept Belize credit cards. Great to hear that the trip went well. Thanks for letting me know. Take care. Read More

I did my third trip from Belize to south eastern USA and back now. My toll road trip from Laredo to Belize was great again. My daughter then did it in February. Four successful trips. Read More

Thanks terrific. I have been busy enjoying and setting our farm up in Belize. Yes there are those Belize haters trolling posts to try and discourage people. Read More

I have thought about it several times. According to Google it does not save much time, so I have always 'chickened out'. I am usually the adventurous type. I talked with an expat that lives in Guatemala close to the entrance from Mexico on ... Read More

I have driven from Laredo Tx to Belize and back 3 times. I always take the toll roads as they are safer, and faster. Laredo -> Monterrey -> Saltillo -> Santiago de Queretaro (stay over night) -> ON 57D turn to go on Mexico city bypass ... Read More
Bringing one's pet, is there a significant cost involved? by k92385
Hi, I have a question. It entails bringing my dog to Belize. He is a 3 year old German Shepherd. I will probably fly him here from my home in Florida after I find a rental property there. How difficult is it to bring one's pets. And is there a ...
My Dobermann was too big for United's aircraft as cargo. Therefore I drove with her from Dallas Tx. I had all the same paperwork just as if I was flying in (I flew in with our Vizslas). Crossing the border into Mexico was a non-issue as far as ... Read More
Kitchen work top by terrific
I have seen granite slabs on display a couple of times in Belize, notably towards Placencia but wonder if there are any companies making polished concrete work tops in Belize. If anyone has purchasad the granite is it very much more expensive than ...
There are several places to purchase Granite. Granite is not a specific price, as each 'design' is a different price. The price is reasonable. Read More
Opening a Bank Account - Be Aware - Information by 2flyaway
Opening a Bank Account in Belize is not as simple as in North America or Europe. As a non-resident or citizen you need to apply to the central bank for permission to open a bank account. In this application you must: 1. Provide a utility bill to ...
We investigated exactly that while still in Canada. We too thought that would be the great solution. The Scotia Bank in Canada told us that they would have no advantage in transferring money to Belize Scotia bank than any other bank. Though owned by ... Read More

Methinks: You can get access to money at much lower interest rates than in Belize. The rates in Belize for mortgages are credit card rates elsewhere. If you are just moving into Belize you will have no banking history here either. Plan on paying ... Read More
