35 Years Old and Planning to Emigrate to Belize

10 years ago
Hey all

I've been trawling the net for information on Belize and feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this site. Seeing as there appears to be a lot of members with a wealth of experience on the pro's and con's of living in Belize, I'm hoping a few of you could give me some further insight.

My wife and I currently live in the UK and due to my wife's continual health issues, we are now seriously considering emigrating to Belize to take advantage of the warmer climates and cleaner air. Our hope is that her health will improve sufficiently so that she can bear children...

My wife has dual nationality as she was born in Belize, and we have a huge family network throughout the country.

Our intention is to send my wife over for 3 months to stay with family - time enough I hope to identify if her health improves. In addition she can start venturing into the viability of relocating on a more permanent basis (location, work, medical centres, etc)

We have taken a tour of Sanctuary Belize and been utterly enchanted by the whole development, however as we have a limited monthly budget of approx. 2,500BZD per month for a mortgage and living expenses, it seems a little out of our reach at this time. I've noticed that the Hummingbird Estate has some affordable properties/lots, however the most cost effective option seems to be buying land/property owned by family as opposed to developers...

What are other peoples experience of moving to Belize?
