Hi, My husband and I currently live in Central America, and we are thinking of relocating to Belize to settle down long term. We have visited the country several times and really love it. One concern however is work. I currently work as an English teacher in a bilingual school and haven't been able to find any similar jobs in San Ignacio/Cayo. Can anyone on the ground or who has experience give me some help or tips?
Thanks! :)

Its pretty simple, You wont get work , mainly because the authorities wont give you a work permit. Jobs are for locals

Try approaching the schools you want to work at directly. They may be able to get you a work permit as a teacher. However, jobs do go to locals first.

Thanks for your responses, even though they're not good news!! So, if I'm correct, really to earn money in Belize you need to work online or set you own business?

A good place to start is by looking at the Amandala newspaper classified also every now and then Peace cops requires a teacher in Spanish. Know that teaching jobs are normally reserved for Belizeans and then given to foreigners after the posts have not been filled. You might try a private institution like QCS close toi Belmopan or maybe setting up your own tutoring especially in ESL.
