Safety in Mexico by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Mexico? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...

I live in Merida. I feel very safe. I haven't encountered any problems. I moved here from Belize where there is a danger increase. I'm now moving to Chetumal. Im comfortable with my surroundings for sure! Read More


Passport Stamping by canadianbcgirl
Has anyone tried to get there passport stamped at the local police station instead of the immigration office? I read that you could either get your passport stamped at either place.

You can show up early but you will lose days. The visa is extended 30 days from the day you go to Immigration. BTW, if your 30 day date is on a Saturday, you must go on Friday. If it is on Sunday, you may wait to go on Monday. Just FYI Read More


Wanting to relocate to Belize by christouly
If someone out there could give me some advice on moving to Belize I sure would appreciate it. My backround is in the Restaurant business and have worked in other countries including the Russian Federation. Thank you

Catherine... do you even have legal permission to move your grandson outside the US? It sounds like you have to follow rules to have custody of him and that's usually one of the restricutions. Do you both have passports? Rules for traveling with ... Read More

Belikins home delivery by John A Miner
I have been trying to call Beliken at 501 422 2095 on my magic jack to get home delivery in Corozal. No luck. In fact I don't seem to have much luck calling many 501 numbers. Now when I call South Carolina or Michigan- no problema. Any suggestions ...

:) Well I have to say that my experience is different that John's I think. I love my Magic Jack and use it often. I even use the app wireless on my iPad. I just tap on it and call my Mom or my son or brother. They tell me it's clear as a bell. ... Read More


Coming Down, Booking Flight Question by service_guy
Hi. Working on booking flights, and do I need to book return flights, or can I do one way? We are not sure when we are returning, so I am thinking one way might be the way to go. Will we have trouble without a return ticket? Thanks, Dave and Trish

Horrible murder in Consejo by katievalk
I assume this is the same Nichi who has posted on these boards? Very sad; my condolences to her family and community

The only thing I would ask is this.... Where does a person go to find out the progress of the investigation? The TV news? The newspapers? Which one? Que Pasa Corozal? Directly to the police? With such limited information being told people, ... Read More
