decide on location by lowryt

What is the best way to determine where you want to live? Is hiring an attorney the best way to acquire residency here? How complicated is it? How do you get started?

raquelana

Hi, I am pretty biased about citizenship because I married a Belizean. That has really worked out for me. As for the location, I say try a long term rental in a few places (let me know if you want to try Monkey River out). Consider things like: how ... Read More

pool construction by belizeboundgirl

Looking at buying some land in belize, about an acre... how much would it cost to build a house and add a pool? Looking at possibly a 3/2 or 4/2 home. Could be a menonite home.

@belizeboundgirl Hi, we just bought a 2b 2 bath from Pletts for about 76,000 US (we did some finishings ourselves- toilet, vanity, island, closets, back splash, counters), but it came with a loft in one bedroom, primed paint, finished floors, bath ... Read More

VISA/Mastercard Payments by davidsbrenchley

Curious how folks are making payments (other than utilization of US banks) on their US based credit cards. Seems this is a near impossibility with the Belize banking system.

raquelana

If you have enough money a good Citibank card works here (most places) with atm or credit cards. If you get the right account there are no foreign fees. Pay bills online. The hassle is cash- you need it for certain laborers, stores, and produce ... Read More

Hi, I wanted to hear about how people fared during the hurricane. One, do people have dual pane glass windows that keep water out? If so, where did you get them? Two, did the people in Mennonite homes have any problems the other day with structure? ...

40 trees, that is so sad. Sorry to hear about that. Thank you for the update. We are currently in Belmopan in a cement house- no problems the other day except water coming in through nice windows. Thanks for the tips. Read More
