Would you like to move to Belize? If so, you might have a lot of questions about life there. What is life like for expats in this small country?
In this LIOS Podcast, Kathleen and Lief will answer just that.
While Belize offers many upsides for expats, no place is perfect. For Kathleen and Lief, these are some quirks and downsides of Belize:
• Minor language barriers due to the creole spoken by Belizeans
• Asking for directions might be confusing
• Infrastructure
• Car ownership
• Import duties
• Real estate
• Health care

The way you discribe how they give directions is EXACTLY how they give directions in the deep south.
Exactamente. I from just north of Black Wall Street, on a farm between Bartlesville and Nowata, Oklahoma. Di way we call out landmarks here is exactly like we called out landmarks in OK when I was a kid (I almost have 60 years now). John Dean's Hill, Wickam's Corner, etc., etc. We live here full time since Jan 2006; the first 15 months we lived wid no doors, tho dat not di plan. One ting learned is dat doors mek wi lazy.😁
great info guys..much appreciated
Thank you so much for the info.
Very useful information. Thanks.
Thanks for the information .
• Today I have something very important to tell you
• God is justice, He is just and does not rejoice in injustice, sin is injustice and God hates. We are all sinners and the destiny of sinners is hell.
• But, God with his immense love, gave his only begotten son Jesus Christ, to come into the world, to be like a human being, to suffer and die for humanity to forgive our sins.
• So that we can now have a second chance to be reconciled to God and be saved through Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us because he loves us.
• Jesus loves me, Jesus loves you, Jesus loves all mankind, that's why He died on that cross for us, He is risen and can save you from eternal damnation and provide you with eternal salvation. Jesus will return to seek the saved, the Church.
• We can confess our sins to Him, because He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all injustice.
• For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
• Jesus loves you, and Jesus wants to save you, you can be saved! Believe in Him and obey His word.
God bless you! 💓
We bought a condo just north of San Pedro town and thoroughly enjoy the lifestyle. At present we would be classified as snow birds. Where we are the internet is good as the island has fiber optic connection. The big factor on reliable connection is the number of people sharing the line to the development. We have the option of a private line and may explore getting this. The primary mode of transport is golf cars. Very few cars and trucks and they are primarily used by government or business. Food and accommodation is probably the most expensive on the island compared to the rest of Belize but the atmosphere here makes up for it. The town has everything you need.
Thank you for sharing
I want to come to Belize but I don't know anyone there or how to go about it
@@profitsong for a visit or to migrate?
Yes I wanna migrate
@@profitsong best bet is contact a visa specialist or a lawyer specializing in immigration. The paperwork can be very beurocratic.
Thankyou for the info. I have the opportunity to move to Belize with my husband and 2 toddlers. We have to make a decision pretty soon and this was very informative.
Glad this helped!
Greetings from Consejo Village, Corozal! I have lived in Belize full time for almost 19 years with my sweet hubby who I married 34 years ago on a $50 USD bet. I enjoy listening to videos about Belize from the perspectives of different people, expat realtors included, because it give me fresh eye. We no know our own area like di person who first experience it .This is a fascinating video. Minute 8:09, I do beg to disagree wid you. A car on the mainland is not needed, but it is very appreciated. In 2010 when my hubby and daughter both sick in States and I moving expats for room and board along di the MX Coastal Route, there was an issue wid our truck so I let it rest for 10 months and took public transport ahn free drops. The public transport is still what I prefer when I want to network and meet people. There is an excellent a/c bus from Morales, an express bus that leaves Coro to BC early business days and of course, there is the Florencia lines that includes USB chargers (locked bathroom); however I find the non a/c chicken busses the best place to meet people on my excursions especially to Belmopan and back. Thanks for posting this video and I'll stay tuned in.
Thank you for the nice video

You don’t need a car in Belize. We lived in Dangriga for 3yrs without a car. We biked and used the public buses to travel all over the country. We lived on 500US a month from 2017-2019 in Dangriga. Live like a local as much as possible and you can live cheap. Our 1bedroom apartment was 125US a month. Immigration fees doubled in 2020 and have remained high. Also this video didn’t mention the rough and rude treatment by Immigration officials at all of their offices throughout the country.
I never experienced anyone rude in Immigration. Probably because I was quiet, respectful and never complained.
@@cayecayo4648 respect goes a long way

Indirect directions. Love that! I was walking around Belize City outside of the cruise port a couple of years ago and asked directions from a local and that was exactly how he described the way!😀 . So we thanked him and walked around the corner and headed back to the port. I didn’t want to look stupid by asking what??? So I thanked him and went on my way and that was ok too.

JESUS TE AMA what if I’m not a believer in Jesus? What if I’m a Jew or a Muslim? Then you are wrong.
@@TripReviews
there are several paths. But Jesus says: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me
JESUS TE AMA ok, as long as you see it that way. N.p but I dislike those desires to push any faith upon others. I hope you enjoy the Easter weekend.
@@TripReviews
thank you, you too, God bless you. Don't forget, the true meaning of Easter is that Jesus is risen!
Cajun english? Kind of a Kriol? It is Kriol.
Nonsense about the paint story.
For directions its not "go like this"...e "you go so".
For a vehicle do not import, buy local, get a 4 cyl, 4 wheel drive not necessary for most, an suv or 4 door pickup good and with propane ideal. Good value around 10k to 15k BZ. Lots of good local.selection.
Come as a visitor, apply for residency after one year and rent until you are sure of the area ypu want to live in. Take a few years and get to know things. Beautiful furnished homes less than $1,000 BZ per month on mainland.
Healtcare dont get hurt dont get sick and learn local remedies.

Thank you for sharing. I’ll be looking for some land off the beaten path. I subscribed and put notifications on, because you guys were realistic about life in Belize. Can you recommend a realtor? Thank you for sharing.
Hi Jose, thank you! Please send an email to customerservice@liveandinvestoverseas.com so you can receive further assistance.
I am rather surprised, with the conference being virtual, and more and more people working remotely these days, that there is no mention of internet... speed, costs etc.. I love the residency options, (It's becoming difficult in Asia with so many borders being closed) but the speed and quality of internet can make or break a destination for remote workers.
Government has increased the minimum ISP speed to 35MBPS to support remote working

Hello beautiful people. I have a question.
First I should say. , maybe , I have been to Belize back in 2002. I wanted to invest in and move there then. A lil kicking myself these days maybe. But to my my question... What is the current situation on masking and movement there?
Could I migrate there at over 53? I'm a web developer and would require internet.
Destiny Wagner bring me here lol 💕
Re directions, there is GPS!
Everything about Belize sounds so good but the only thing that im concerned about is source of income. What do you think about owning a restaurant or a coffee shop in the areas of ambergris or caye caulker? Are there plenty of them around already? Would like an input on this if possible. Love the vids!

How do older people find their place and comfort level as retirees over 60 needing many of the usual infrastructure, including health services??
People have a misconception about retiring in Belize on Social Security. Even though its in Central America, Belize is not a good option, if you only have Social Security. A better option is Nicaragua or Panama. The two big attraction in moving to Belize, are the beaches, and the fact that they speak English.
Me who lives in Belize: 😐
So a combined social security of 50$K a year would not be enough to live in Belize? That is disappointing
Great suggestions. We need to raise the property taxes here.
Bite your tongue . If you want to pay higher taxes move to Jersey
I have been to Belize and to the Cayo District. It is important to discuss the crime there. The mainland of Belize has one of the highest homicide rates in Latin America, with it only being lower this year due to COVID, but typically hovering around 37 murders per 100,000, which is almost 7 times the murder rate in the US. We were warned not to even stand out in front of the international airport in Belize City during daylight hours by our hosts. We stayed with a local family there, and were told by the wife that she would not go into town at night by herself due to the real fear of being raped. The local men were constantly cat calling the women in our group whenever we went through town, even if the women were just traveling in a car through town.
That being said, Belize is a beautiful country and I enjoyed my time there, which included doing mission work, snorkeling, and spending time on Caye Caulker.
I also toured a hospital when I was there with others, and the hospital was very old, with little recent medical equipment and run down with clearly not the level of sanitary standards in the US.
Belize City is like that, just I would not be walking around in south central LA

And the US are some of the sickest people on earth. Not trying to me mean here but man oh man that place is falling into pieces.
As a woman traveling alone throughout Belize, I felt very safe and respected. If you go to a place with fear in your eyes expecting to be a victim, you will be. I walked with confidence through Belize City and nobody bothered me. I did receive plenty of compliments from men but I get those in every country, including the U.S. As for healthcare, we Americans run to the doctor for every health issue that WE cause with our horrible lifestyle & diet. Don't eat crap, walk a little bit, and don't stress over every single thing. Then you won't need 5 state of the art hospitals in every city. Medical care in the US is a big profit machine but it's not like that in Belize.
I just returned last week from my 5th trip to Belize. Each time I've been there, I've visited both the mainland (as far west as San Ignacio) and several of the Cayes. Not once have I ever experienced a woman I was with, having to endure any sort of cat calling or other type of harassment. I've never experienced any crime or was made to feel unsafe anywhere. With that said, I also avoided specific places in Orange Walk and Belize City the same way I'd avoid McHenry St in West Baltimore. Not much to see there anyway. Women should not go anywhere alone but as far as I am concerned, that is just good advice for all of Central and South America. If a female is with a man, she will be left alone 99% of the time. I'm tempted to say 100% but there is always an exception. Just like anywhere else, if you conduct yourself properly, do not enter bad neighborhoods and stay aware of your surroundings, you will most likely never experience any crime or harassment in Belize outside of the occasional pushy street vendor who won't take "no" for an answer and that is also rare. At least from my experience.
Lots of good information however I don't know if I'd want to move there. EEEEKKKKK

It's NOT cajun. It is crreaol. The locals call it creaol, and it fits the linguistic definition of a creaol. It is simler to other creols spoken in the former British Caribean, and the central Merican Caribean coast, for that matter.
It IS fun to listen to, and you can pick it up fairly quickly.
It’s called Kriol, not creaol. That Cajun dialect of creole is spoken to parts of Louisiana.

Belize was on our list- along with Panama and Costa Rica. But after serious research on the safety issues, residency issues, infrastructure, and economic stability, we had to cross Belize off. I love the country, but there were just too many major issues we couldn't overlook.
Costa Rica is incredibly economically unstable. They have $13,000 or so per capita of national/sovereign debt as opposed to $4,000 or so in Belize.
@@johngiuffrida I agree. It's one of the main reasons we crossed Costa Rica off our list.
On safety. It is important to know that everyone knows everything about you. You are being watched always. Do not let your guard down. You dont know who is warching. This is not Disneyland. You must be aware at all times. Not going out at night is rule of thumb for most Belizeans, more so for foreign. Drive an older vehicle, do not wear jewellery or expensive clothes. Basically do not attract attention. Do not be overly informative. Never tell people where you live and above all else mind your own business and you will stay alive.
I won’t say it’s dangerous. Belize city is not that safe. It’s better to go to the cayes and other places.
"It's not english".
Vuadaguon bally!!?? LOL
I'm an ex MK from 35 years ago....
Also Americans, dont go there and expect it to be murica. You will be miserable. Also dont forget the scorpions, extremely dangerous snakes that can kill you in minutes, botlas (flies that bite), marching army ants that will invade your house, tigers (oh yes), fruit bats (by the hundreds), crocodiles, and tropical downpours (oh my! Lol)
...but I love it! It's an true adventure. Adventure is not an adventure without peril.

This is terrifying. I currently have the opportunity to move to Belize. I'm scared now!!! Wtf
I see people bringing up how dangerous it is. I will say Belize city is not the safest but everywhere else is pretty safe. No one will alway be watching you! I would say it’s safer than America as not anyone has a gun. Would recommend going to the cayes just don’t go to Belize as tbh it isn’t that good :/. Cayo and the cayes are the best places to go

• So that we can now have a second chance to be reconciled to God and be saved through Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us because he loves us.
• Jesus loves me, Jesus loves you, Jesus loves all mankind, that's why He died on that cross for us, He is risen and can save you from eternal damnation and provide you with eternal salvation. Jesus will return to seek the saved, the Church.
• We can confess our sins to Him, because He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all injustice.
• For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
• Jesus loves you, and Jesus wants to save you, you can be saved! Believe in Him and obey His word.
God bless you! 💓
The cost of living , food, entertainment is Cheap.
The currency exchange in US dollars is $1 for 2 Belizean dollars.
You can move their on your retiree money, cause they need the money due to no infrastructure. Water, gas and electric is so cheap .Belize is populated about 90 percent black with others making up ther 20 percent which include white expats.
Crime rate EXTREMELY LOW as the NATIVE to the land are very loving.
I am not sure about the coined phrase, " you get what you pay for being that living in Belize is already cheap in pricing for expats so don't go with a western or colonialism attitude trying to get everything for nothing.
The people are in a humble state of economic as it is.
Reading that people were murdered in Belize says me I should not go there, it`s kind of a hell.
One can most definitely say the same thing about the USA. For many folks, living there is hell and the future doesn’t look bright if the orange guy is elected again.
I am not planning on moving to Belize, tho I have looked at property there. I don't rely on the govt for my protection in America, and I would certainly not rely on the Belize govt to protect me, I have a second amendment right to protect myself, and I practice it daily.
You won’t have that right in Belize and would likely get in deep trouble if you tried.
@@captainsalty9022 why wouldnt I have the right to defend myself in Belize? what makes them different?
@@ronstanley9873 Don't try to go down there and be a cowboy your just gonna get thrown in prison or worse.
@Andrew Smith why why would I be a cowboy in Belize? There are no cowboys there.
We need to raise to cost of living for expat in Belize.
We need to do the same here. How are illegal migrates handled ?
Easy. Here In belize we call them aliens 👽, put them on ship an fly them back to their planet.
Belize has horrible health care from what I have heard
Ours is better than america at this point, if you have insurance you can go any private hosiptal , if not you then go to public 🏥
@@libertos9960 wouldn't it be easier to travel to chetumal ?
I have been to a clinic in Belize. It wasn't any worse than anywhere else, and the staff was knowledgable and very kind and professional. Make sure you know your facts.
Dont get sick dont get hurt. Learn ypur local remedies and stay away from.hospitals and doctors.
I mean it isn’t the best but it’s way better than America. We won’t be in poor bc of one medical problem
He's like elon musk
Don't try to be an environmental advocate. Knew a nurse resident murdered by group of individuals who opposed her efforts. She was the villages' medical practitioner and loved by locals some of which they employed at their resort and had community with.
This tragedy could use some more context. What was the nurse resident advocating for and where? What were her methods? Was she alone in the jungle trying to stop deforestation? Was she a volunteer or with a certain nonprofit? She was Belizean or no?
BELIZE NEEDS TO BRING INVESTERS TO HELP THE ECONOMY GROW FASTER
wake up... the political corruption takes most of the economy from the people... get real.
there is a long line of investors just chomping at the bit to throw their money away...in belize.
It doesn’t. It’ll only destroy the culture and make it unaffordable for the working class and locals to live.
is it really a FREE country where I can bring a firearm?
Why would you bring a firearm ?
@@stephanemalabar2319 for protection,uh because I want to.....
@@stephanemalabar2319 why would you question the things I want to bring?
@@ronstanley9873 Well, wanting to bring a firearm to paradise... Seems a bit like wanting to recreate a US constitution like atmosphere in Belize. No offence, but it is something very hard to understand in Europe
@@stephanemalabar2319 well that's because you don't have a constitution in Europe that says what the government CANT do to you,nor do you have a BILL OF RIGHTS that expressly states what your rights are the second amendment being one of them.no one wants to recreate a US Constitution in Belize,I was there before the CHI COM VIRUS was unleashed on the world and I was told by numerous people not to leave the cruise port and go into the City of Belize because of the high crime rate. in our country we have the right to defend our lives only if need be even if our liberal friends don't believe in that god given right...
Is the cost of living still good there?
Please, please invest in a decent microphone. I've watched a couple of your videos and the audio is HORRIBLE. In each instance the experience was ruined by your muffled, indistinct speech. It's a shame because I'm very interested in the material you're presenting, but if you can't be heard, what's the point?
You are so rude! It’s ok, we don’t want people like you in Belize, you won’t pass the test! We are polite but don’t test us! 😡💕🙏🏼
Also no expat should own land. They should rent from the the locals.
As someone who is considering moving abroad, I have been pondering the ethics of moving from an affluent country to a less affluent country, and the privilege I'm bringing with me. I wonder if the shoe were on the other foot, now that we are in a global economy and people are able to invest in buying land in other countries, granted we must take into account the history of colonialism and all its negatives, are we not to allow anyone from any other country to buy land anywhere? If there is a Belizean who is financially able to buy land and a home in Ireland, Thailand, Ghana, the U.S., or any other country as an expat, would we say the Belizean should only rent from locals? Or does this only go one way? Because the expat we are envisioning is of the rich, white variety? Is that what makes owning land in Belize problematic? Are the Mennonites looked upon unfavorably for their land ownership? Is it any different if we just look at it as someone who is immigrating? Which is basically the same thing as being expatriated from your country. If someone is wanting to immigrate to another country and live there, should we not support their right to house and land ownership to put down roots and make a home? This all has been weighing on me, because I am feeling more and more ready to leave the U.S., and I know when I do, I will be respectful of the culture I will be assimilating to, but I do have ethical concerns about buying property and possibly starting a business in a country that has had a history of colonialism and how to navigate that.
The table had turned for the indigenous people of the land. More locals are the one renting, when it's easier for a foreigner to come purchase property with their fictitious currency, and bringing their way of life which didnt work out for them, then come impose it on the the locals, and fuck shit up here too. U BORN THERE YOU STAY THERE. not saying u can't visit and come learn something. Come off this global idea of how shit should run, n come down to earth. It's only profiting one class of people. And trust me, only fools move out of belize looking for better life. we already have everything we need here. We can stop polishing situations just to suit our fuckup. We rather u visit. Trust me we're not hungry! Btw poor is the abundance of fictitious money u hold.
@@marshall6201 Is this just focusing on stereotypical affluent, white Europeans? Or can affluent Africans, Asians, or Middle Easterners move to other countries if they wish?
@@meg9953 if you're so privileged and feel guilty about it then just give your money to the locals to clear your conscience, but please stop with the virtue signaling, you're making a fool out of yourself.
@@blobtv7444 Well, I wasn't holding out much hope that the comments section of a TH-cam channel was the place to find solid and thoughtful answers to these questions. But it never hurts to try.
Please, never say that the local language is "fun to listen to", as if it's a song. You're referring to a country's culture. After all...
Kriol is musical. You cannot have the same conversation in english.
@@cayecayo4648 we can agree on that
