What do I need to know before moving to Corozal?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Corozal, they said:

"Before moving to Corozal, expats should be aware that the official language is English, although Spanish is also widely spoken. Expats should also be aware that the cost of living is relatively low, and that the climate is tropical and humid. Additionally, expats should be aware that the local currency is the Belize Dollar, and that US Dollars are widely accepted. Finally, expats should be aware that the healthcare system is limited, and that it is recommended to have private health insurance," said one expat in Corozal.

"Research, Research, and more Research. Then do a spread sheet on three "Time and Cost" scenarios for a final decision on whether getting here by Land, Sea, Air, or a combination will be more effective," said one expat who made the move to Corozal.
