Thank you for these helpful links to Belize. Belize will be our next stop, me and my husband as part of our long honeymoon. I've seen Belize before, I guess on a travel show on Entertainment News "E!" (I believe that's "Wild on ...") and appealed to me that someday I will be traveling to that great country, and my dreams will soon some true thanks to my loving husband (of course his paying the bills hahaha).

Here are some facts on how to enter Belize:

VISAS

All travelers entering the country must have a valid passport (valid for up to six months after visit) and a proof of return to their country. No visas are required for citizens of the United States, United Kingdom and the majority of Caribbean Islands. Visitors from other countries must check for information about obtaining a visa. Belize allows visitors a maximum of one-month stay in the country before they require an extension.

DEPARTURE TAXES & FEES

Departure taxes that were once collected at the Philip Goldson International Airport are now included in the cost of the airline tickets. Please confirm with your airline that the fee is included at the time you purchase the ticket.

Departing the country through land borders requires payment of the land border exit fee of US$18.75 per person.

The average per capita income in Belize is less than USD 6, 000 - so you can afford to live on a very moderate income in Belize if you live like a Belizean or you can choose to live the American dream in an expensive property with a gas guzzling 4 x 4 on the drive, sending your children out of the country to private school and partying with your expatriate friends at the most exclusive and expensive hotspots in Belize!

On closer inspection here are some examples of prices and costs that we have found: - when it comes to accommodation you can rent a small flat in Belize City from around USD 1, 000 or a large house in the Cayo district for USD 300 a month. You can buy a piece of land large enough to build a house on from USD 5000 or pay up to USD 10, 000 depending on the attraction of the location. You can buy a house from as little USD 25 per square foot or you can pay right up to USD 250, 000 and beyond for a nice ocean front property in a gated community.

Belize seems to attract lots of expats. I have heard and read lots of good comments and feedback on this beautiful place. I only wish that i could visit this place some time someday.

Here are some must do and see in Belize

Mayan culture

Visit Altun Ha, a major Mayan ceremonial centre and trading centre in the Classic period (AD 250-900); an extraordinary head of the sun god, ornately carved in jade, was found here and is now a national symbol of Belize.

Explore the Cayes

Head offshore to Ambergris Caye's resorts or chill out at a beachside cabaña in laid-back Caye Caulker: the islands make ideal bases for diving and snorkelling

Comment #8 Che (63.176.159.96) -

Here is what i got from the net

There are three options for those wishing to retire in Belize or to spend extended periods of time in the country. Each has advantages and disadvantages. The three options include Tourist Card, Qualified Retired Persons Status, and Permanent Residence that can lead to Belize Citizenship. A Work Permit is a little-known fourth option that can also lead to Permanent Residence but this is usually for individuals with special skills not available locally, or for low-paying jobs that locals tend to shun, such as manual work, farm worker, housekeepers, waitresses and so on.

I am thinking of moving either in Belize and Costa Rica. I love both of this country very much and since I am retiring soon, I would like to know more about the two. Would you mind to help me decide on this matter guys. I am indeed interested in moving but is getting confused on what to choose, Belize or Costa Rica. Hope to hear some advice regarding this matter from all of you.

Comment #12 Sammy (109.111.97.123) - 03/02/10 22:55

I suggest that you try reading more about the two countries. You might want to be well oriented first about the two before deciding where to live. This way you can avoid any regrets at the end. But actually both of the countries are great for retirees and for anyone who would want to have a vacation. Have a great day guys and just keep all of those posts coming.
