oznomad Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I happened across this yesterday, and thought it might interest people that are over the processes and changes here in Thailand. The Belize Qualified Retirement Program. The crux of it: 45 or older. Income of USD $2000 pm / $24000 pa. Must remain in Belize for a minimum of 30 days pa. No HIV. Application fees $1350 Annual fee $25 http://www.belizetourismboard.org/programs-events/retirement-program/#1490201888210-0357f09a-6e91 I spent a couple of weeks in Belize in 2016, so cant answer questions about living there, or about the retirement program, or anything else really. I am not posting this to attract naysayers or those that find fault in everything posted on TVF. It's just a FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I like Belize,been there many times. On the language front, although English is the official language most people seem to speak a version of Creole which I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering about Belize myself as I'm planning on clearing out of CM later this year. You said you've been there - one of the draws is that supposedly English is widely spoken there. Is this correct? Also, any thoughts about the city you stayed at? My experience was a bit like the Philippines. Some people speak English, some have a bit of a grip. Most places you would go it would not be an issue. It wasnt for me. I was in Belize City, San Ignacio, Caulker Cay and another cay that eludes me now. Belize City isnt somewhere I would live. Most expats gravitate to the cays, with Ambergris being the favourite. Could I spend a month there each year? Sure. I see the program as a good thing to have up the sleeve. Application fees are a little steep but $25 a year after is a sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
