Commuting to the US

7 years ago
Good morning!

I've read through a lot of the posts to this forum, and I loved seeing the friendly, but firmly realistic, advice you're offering!

I'd love to get direct feedback from anyone that's living in Belize and commuting to work in US. I'm in a well compensated position that requires me to be in the office 2 days per week, and fully remote 3 days. My thought is that I could say fly out Sunday evening, be in the office (which is about 10 min. from O'Hare) Monday and Tuesday, and return home Tuesday evening.

Is there anyone here doing something similar? Does anyone have any advice off the top of their head even if they haven't tried this? Are there tax/visa implications with the Belizean government to earning outside wages while living in country?

Any help would be appreciated. I've looked a little at this type of arrangement in the US VI, but Belize would be attractive as a option if it's viable.

Thanks!
