Wouldn't you want to live in Belize? You can if you want to. Let us show you how to achieve that dream.

There are three options you can choose from when retiring and living in Belize.

The first is to apply for an extended visa that allows you to stay for years. All you have to do is apply for the card. If you are a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), you do not need to get a visa. You only have to get the travel tourist permit. It will cost you US $25 to apply and with a monthly fee of US $ 50, you can stay for 6 months and live hassle free. The members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) are citizens from the USA, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Norway, UK, Venezuela, Costa Rica, New Zealand. With this set-up, you can get a feel of the place without committing fully to the prospect of living in Belize.

Another way to settle in Belize is to apply for official Belize permanent residency. What you do is you file an application for a Belize Permanent Resident card. The government agency handling this is the Belize Immigration Department in the city of Belmopan. You have to stay in Belize for one year in order to file an application at the Belize Immigration Department.

You will then fill out a Permanent Residency Application form. You will also have to undergo an HIV test. You need to have a police record with no criminal history, then you will collect recommendations from any local Belize resident. These residents will vouch for you and these are usually doctors, priests, lawyers or heads of government institutions or justices of the peace. The fee for the application is US $2000.
