How easy is it for ex-pats to find work?

My wife and I are considering moving to Belize in a few years. In the next few months (Feb or Mar) we would like to make our first trip to Belize to start our research/education process. Does anyone have any suggestions on where/how to start. We were thinking about spending 2 weeks there as our first educational trip.

Great advice. If you were pick a place in Belize for a safe community where would that be? What are your top 3 cities? I am going there in the next month to look at property to rent for 1 year and then apply for residency.

Hi, Stann Creek district is generally considered to be very safe. Placencia has gorgeous white sandy beaches and is very popular with expats. Hopkins is a charming fishing village which is becoming increasingly popular and has a couple of great hotels on the beach called Jaguar Reef and Haminasi. If you want a more developed area, then Dangriga is a great town - less expats and tourists there though. Lastly, the amazing gated development in Sittee River contained within 14,000 acres of nature reserve called Sanctuary Belize has to be seen to be believed! Happy hunting! Russ

As a potential newbie, I have nothing to share at this point but appreciate all the info I can gather for now. Your above article helps get the pulse of the country.

RELAX & look around you, when you are walking around the towns. We notice that most people, US citizens, mostly, do not look around. The people are great! VERY friendly & would love to just sit and visit with you. The buildings are GREAT, too. Even if they're old, ugly, whatever. There is so much character! Just try all the little food places. We ate at EVERY single restaurant, in San Ignacio. What a fantastic place! We cannot wait to move there permanently!!! SOON!!

I'm curious about the exchange rate. I read articles regarding two to one rates but then read how much more consumer goods cost.. Doesn't seem like there would be a lot of difference in cost of living if consumer goods cost twice as much or more to purchase.
