Relocating in 12 months: nursing jobs?

kellyjean7988 · 2013-01-27T00:15:16+01:00

I am a 30 year old Registered Nurse. My family and I (husband, 5 year old girl, 6 year old boy) are planning to move to Belize in about a year. As soon as possible, we'd like to become citizens. We plan on driving down in a truck with enough money to support our selves for 12-18 months. Ultimately, I'd like to work again as a nurse. I've been having a hard time finding up-to-date information about working a nurse. And, I've could conflicting information. Do we have to be in Belize for 6 or 12 months before we are able to work and apply for citizenship? We plan on renting a home at first. Once I am able to work and I've found a job, then we will buy a home. Does anyone know anything about working as a nurse in Belize? Will it be hard to find a job?

I am considering a move to Belize in the next 18 months. I am an RN. I would like to know whom to contact to get information on all that needs to be completed. I have wanted to work in a different environment for several years now. I would like to inquire on any educational opportunities. Please

In ANY occupation folks coming into Belize are not allowed work or volunteer on a VISITOR permit.

When getting a WORK permit one needs to show you wont be keeping a Belizion from getting a job.

This question comes up in this forum many times each year, and always has the same answer.

I suggest using the search feature (magnifying glass upper right of each page) to see good answers to common questions.

Also Belize government websites have gotten a lot more informative in recent years...... best to go to the Source of regulations. Google is your friend there.
