Belize vs USA - Cost of Living by MyBetterHalf

I've read articles stating the cost of living in Belize is essentially the same as living in the USA. For those who have taken the plunge and made the move, can you give the rest of us an idea of what it takes to live there. I'm not looking ...

There is not an 'X' amount on what you may bring in having gained entry in to the Qualified Retirement Programme. As long as the goods are household/ personal (not building materials, air conditioning units, etc) they are tax and duty free. There ... Read More

Gained entry in May this year (lived here for a year first but that was more to do with the one year window to bring stuff in absent of duty and tax). Very easy process - I did it myself. As to avoiding the monthly Visa renewal cost by going to ... Read More

Having gained entry in to the "QRP" I didn't find providing the necessary financial information particularly onerous or intrusive. http://www. abelizehomeforus.wordpress.com Read More

Selling property in belize by Prestonia

Part of the take away from the discussion is that you need to think about what buyers want when you start to build, and you aren't likely to get back all of the money that you put in. The market is artificially inflated by expat owners who want to ...

John East

But some may. Depends what you build. Where you build. And whether the market is buoyant or depressed. abelizehomeforus.wordpress.com Read More

Application online for QRP by George2121

Hi ... I was just reading here about the QRP. It was mentioned that you can apply "online". What website is that application on? I just arrived in Belize last week and will rent for a while. Will the Govt accept "online" letters and statements? or ...

John East

Hi Rick. I applied for entry in to the "QRP" without using an attorney/facilitator. The process isn't at all difficult once you have the necessary supporting documentation that is required to support your application. From the point of the ... Read More

John East

I think it all depends on what type of crown you have . I paid US$ 299 (BZ$ 598) for a porcelain/metallic crown and US$ 499 ( BZ$ 998) for a full porcelain crown. All done by/at The Dental Center. http://www.abelizehomeforus.wordpress.com Read More

Hi Dave Have your wife and yourself visited Belize? If not my first piece of advice would be to come here for an extended stay (I would say a month minimum). Travel around. Get a feeling for all of the places you visit. Understand (as best as you ... Read More
