Why should you live in Belize as an expat, emigrant or working nomad?
- because of the kind and often tremendously hospitable locals.
- because of the cultural diversity, beautiful natural parks and tropical beaches/islands and coral reefs!
- because of the relaxed social life in Belize.
- because of the wonderful tropical climate (especially between January and May).
- because of the government of Belize which is eager to attract foreign investors (no restrictions on foreign ownership).
- because of the low cost and reasonable standard of living; especially compared to some other countries in Central America.
- because of the extra leisure time of one's own due to domestic and other help.
- because of the absence (for now) of corporate income tax, capital gains tax and property tax in Belize.
What should you pay attention to?
- that Belize has a stable political climate, but a still fragile financial system.
- that in the months between June and December you may experience heavy rains, occasional hurricanes and high humidity.
- that you sometimes have to adjust your demands in terms of efficiency and diligence.
- that the still poor infrastructure conditions can sometimes make it more difficult to run a business in Belize.
- that the reputation of the southern part of Belize City is still far from optimal (opt for the north side).
- that for more radical care, you often have to go out of the country, to Mexico or Panama, for example.
- that local products are generally quite affordable, unlike imported products.
