possibly in Bze - considering DGA or Hopkins or Corazol.

Where to find facts;. does it cost to leave Bze when visiting the US? Do I need to register every 30 days I stay there? Must I enroll as Expat?

I will rent furnished place.

These are just starting questions.

Here is what you will probably find here.....It appears you have no knowledge of the country and procedures. Those here are going to want you to spend time figuring out the BASICS then they can help you with the details. If you go to the search window and enter a topic you will get previous posts to get you started. Do some research first then you will get help.

Hey BZSPACE — A couple very helpful resources:
1 — https://www.belize.com/ has lots of information for folks like me (and you) considering visiting/moving to Belize. And it's all free.
2 — Easy Belize by Lan Sluder (latest edition) is the best book I've found on Belize and well worth the money.
Good luck!

Thanks, this is my second stay in Bze but getting conflicting information on my questions. Thought reply here would clarify answers. Already have material suggested and done research for four years; but seeking thoughts from someone live. Your response intimate my questions vague or too broad. Hmm. Blessings

There is a departure tax of $20 US as Pact charge towards conservation. If you leave by air the departure tax is included in the airfare (verify with airline). No registration needed as Expat but just make sure you extend your tourist visa at immigration office when your month is up and pay the fee $25 US verification needed.

North Belize provides better axess to health care and shopping in Mexico. Health care is pretty basic in Belize. I decided not to move there because of the summer heat and my health issues. Renting for the winter months is a good way to do it. Property can be difficult to sell so picking the wrong place is a problem. There is little in the way of zoning so you want to actually look at the rental, you dont want to be over an all night bar or somesuch
