Property prices in Belize by Priscilla

Hello everyone, Finding affordable housing in Belize is number one priority for newcomers. Tell us more about the estate market in your district/city/region. What are the most desired places to live? What are the most affordable ones? What is ...

kwinbelize

Without a doubt Corozal is the most affordable location for °µÍø½ûÇøs. Real Estate is price drive here. Unlike most ocean front areas in Belize, we do not have miles of sandy beaches. What we do have is a vibrant °µÍø½ûÇø community and excellent access ... Read More

Automobiles in Belize? by Kim Carlsson

Hi! We're seriously considering setting up an auto mechanical shop somewhere in Belize (except Belize City) Can someone tell me which areas/towns have the highest concentration of vehicles? We're hoping to go to the Northern portion of the ...

kwinbelize

Hello from Corozal.. Just one thought...were I in your shoes, I don't think I'd be as concerned with quantity as with quality. Having a clientele with adequate resources to pay for quality work seems to be a more desirable goal. We have lots of ... Read More

Moving to Belize by stevo66

I will be moving all of our stuff to Corozal from California in October and wonder if anyone knows of a company that they have used in the past? Got one quote and it was very high. Thank you.

kwinbelize

Are you looking for an actual moving company? -or- are you will to use a freight forwarder? There are three freight forwarders that come directly into Corozal...if you are capable of packing it up safely and can get it to one of these...your rates ... Read More

personal belongings by mandankat

I want to bring a container of personal belongings without paying duty on them, what is the best approach to do that. Kathi

kwinbelize

You can bring in personal belongings duty free if you qualify for the QRP program. There are age and income restrictions, so go to Belize Tourism Board website and see if you fit into that mold. Personally, I would shed whatever is unnecessary and ... Read More

Good area to stay in belize by Bojean

Any advice on a good area to stay in belize, my husband and i want to experience a little bit of everything. Not looking for resorts or anything fancy.

kwinbelize

Hi There...are you looking a place to stay that you can essentially use as a launching pad? Most of the larger population centers have hotels that are reasonably priced. The country itself isn't much larger than Rhode Island, so possible to travel ... Read More

Dental Care by Cruisin Camper

So I have read about health care and private versus the public health care..... my question is about dental. Is dental care regularly available or is this something you would have to travel for?

kwinbelize

Dear Cruisin: I suppose that may be somewhat dependent on where you land. Here in Corozal we have an excellent dentist and his fees are very modest. Read More

Here is a topic my wife and I are tolling with as we, as retirees, consider packing-up, selling our properties, etc. and heading south to retire in the warm climes with our two adopted grand daughters. We will be leaving behind our children (who ...

kwinbelize

Hello Mperry: Most of us living here struggled with the same decision you are facing now. We're in Belize and one of the benefits of this place is the availability of relatively low-cost airfare out of Cancun. Often there are even direct flights. ... Read More

My friend who spent time in Belize told me a group of Menonite people had a factory in Belize and were assembling chinese car parts and selling the finished product, I dont find anything when googling it . He also mentioned the Menonite folks build ...

kwinbelize

xcaret: I think perhaps your friend was a little off base. I've been here 5yrs and my husband 12yrs and neither of us is aware of any Mennonite car building plant (altho they do darn near everything else). There are Chinese and Korean vehicles ... Read More

prescription drug cost? by Cruisin Camper

Ok, I know that there are a million and one different drugs out there - but for example, can you readily get commonly used (here in the States) prescription medications for various ailments - antibiotics, cholesterol medications - think Lipitor, ...

kwinbelize

Dear Cruisin'. You may (or may not) be able to get the names you mentioned. However there will probably be a Mexican/Canadian form of the same drug available under a different name and as long as the compound is the same you shouldn't have ... Read More
