Spiridonov, you're right. If that's true - there are far better options in Europe to retire than Malta. It won't be too easy for non-EU Canadians but at least nobody will be be robbing us annually by 15,000.00 Euros for nothing. You even have to buy ... Read More

I am exploring information on Global Residency program and there is something that confuses me a lot about this program. It doesn't make any sense from my perspective to be paying EUR 15,000.00 annually, if I am going to live out of my overseas ... Read More

Thanks for the response, though it is not a very encouraging one. I will try to give it a shot via Toronto or Ottawa and if I get anything useful, I will shoot you a message. Read More

Does it mean that it is a law - do not rent a property to foreigners for more than 6 months is not allowed? How difficult would be to get a residence for Canadians in PT? Read More

Paulo, I just went through the links your mentioned earlier and I can clearly see what you mean by renting to locals vs tourists. I may contact realtors based on that information when we pick the exact reagon/town where we want to land in the end. ... Read More

No. Just to go there to visit museums, theaters, etc. and without overnight stays basically. We like to be close to cultural centers but we don't need vibrant night life and would rather stay in a quite area. Are you from Porto? We wonder what are ... Read More

What would be the best part of the country for making it as a base? by Genych
We are thinking of coming to Belize in November for staying in the country for 5-6 months and explore the country to see, if we can identify a part of Belize where we can feel ourselves the best and maybe to relocate there permanently in the near ...
Yes, it would be very helpful to understand climate differences because I heard many times that the southern part of Belize gets a lot more rain then others and it would be nice to see what that really means? Is is that bad as some people were ... Read More
