Costs of moving from U.S. to Belize- Insight needed by TheBradleys
Hello. My husband and I are considering moving to Belize in the next year or so. I am reading everything I can about the country and moving there. We are too young to qualify for the QRP program and don't have the necessary monthly income (however, ...
Hi Libby. Do you know what area of Belize you are interested in? For such a small country, it's very diverse. Cayo, where my place is located, is in the heart of the mainland and about 2-3 hours from the coast. There is a big variety of fruit and ... Read More

Looking for secure storage for my vehicle near Belize City Airport by Connie Stafford
I need a secure, long-term storage solution for my vehicle. I'm only in the country a few times a year so need my truck safe in the meantime. Anyone know of anything?
Thanks Sharon. I think you're probably right. It's handy having it near the airport but it sure puts you at the mercy of others! I'm afraid to leave it at my property until someone is living there, we've already had some minor issues. (This is ... Read More

I have a place in Bullet Tree near San Ignacio, and am definitely going to have a gun as most of the expatriots I know there do. As far as I can tell, there is not a limitation on what caliber you can have although most of my friends have 12-guage ... Read More

To open an account at a Belize bank, you need a ton of documentation. You can check their websites for exact details, but when I opened my account at Atlantic Bank I needed the usual: passport & other identification, proof of permanent address ... Read More

In Belize, the only bribes we were asked for were at the northern border crossing from Mexico. They have the red light/green light method of deciding whether to search your vehicle and possessions, and we were told that if we'd like to "leave $50 US ... Read More

Sorry for being long-winded, I forgot a couple of things: Raleigh, email me--I have sources for inexpensive little houses for rent in Bullet Tree as long as you don't mind them being a little rustic. And, I am going to be looking for someone to ... Read More

Good article, although I disagree about Belize being one of the cheapest Caribbean countries to live in. It is not, mostly due to food, electricity and fuel costs in addition to the fact that construction costs are not as cheap as we wish they ... Read More

This is all GREAT information, thanks Ruby! I have a secure storage building outside but I love the idea of a secure place inside and hadn't thought of it. That's the main reason for going down this month--to make final decisions about room ... Read More
