usmc-mv, Of course you had something to do with the censorship of this thread. It was you who brought it up as an inapproptate discussion. People who don't live in Belize nor have even visited have no business commenting on appropriateness of ... Read More

Greetings Harold, The $2000/month proof of income I assume is required for the QRP program. You don't need to be part of that to live/immigrate to Belize. With your US passport you can enter with a visa given at the Belize airport and pay a monthly ... Read More
First "recon" visit to Belize next month by JRed
My boyfriend & I will be visiting Belize next month for our first “recon” trip. We’ve been reading a lot of information online (including some of your blogs – thank you!) and books, etc but we really need some first-hand exploration. This first ...
From the airport to Placencia you don't need a 4X4 but on all roads it is best to take it SLOW. I don't know about the Hopkins road as it is being repaired but its not many miles off the Southern Highway. I drive a Daewoo Lanos (roller skate) to all ... Read More

I assume you will rent a car from the airport. Maybe check out Cayo (San Ignacio & environs) the first couple of days. Then head down the beautiful Hummingbird Highway to Dangriga, Hopkins, Placencia and further south(?)for what time you have left. ... Read More

TEAMHEISLER, You can get a better response to your question if you provide more details. Year, # of cylinders, transmission, projected use in Belize, area you will use the vehicle in. Small pickups are very popular, Toyota, Mazda, Ford Rangers, etc. ... Read More

Scott. PECTOPAHs advice is very good. Once you have a piece of land you can go about settling in. If your poor, the land you get will probably not have electricity so that will be quite an adjustment from Denver. Learning to use a machete will be a ... Read More
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 ...
xcaret, I see Harleys driven in Belize every year. Some dirt roads are not for big bikes but most of Belize has decent roads enough to drive a Harley. Read More

Agriculture in Belize by Rayne75
Hello all! I'm so happy to find this forum. Nice to 'meet' you.:) We are visiting Belize soon and are considering retiring there later on. I'd like to know more about the food and water systems in Belize. The rise of chemicals in our water and ...
In Spanish Lookout you can buy empty plastic 55 gal. drums once filled with grammaxone and other chemicals that were emptied out on the Mennonite farms. I hear a certain large supply house up there is the Official representative of Monsanto. The ... Read More
