Can someone give me some advice and more information about living in Belize long-term? I’m an American, considering moving to Belize. I have been teaching English online to non-native speakers for 7 years, so I have a consistent, steady, reliable income, and wouldn’t need to find a regular job on the ground there. I get paid via PayPal and then transfer funds to my bank account. So, in other words, I have zero issue with generating an income, getting paid, etc. All I would really need is a small place to live, reliable internet and electricity, and the ability to remain in the country legally. If needed, I would get my own satellite internet hook-up.
I’ll be 45 later this year, but I don’t have any income from annuities or retirement funds, etc., so I wouldn’t qualify for the QRP; But I see that you can renew your tourist status on a monthly basis for up to 4 years.
How would this work out for me? What are the pros and cons? Can I open a bank account down there? How hard is it to rent a place? How tricky is reliable internet? I plan to visit Belize later this year or early next year to “ground truth” this plan and see what’s what with my own eyes.
Any and all advice would be very welcome.
Thanks!!!
