Belize isn't just all about beaches. Last year we spent a week in Orange Walk, Belize, which is located by a river, with not a beach in sight. The landscape is absolutely beautiful in Orange Walk and one can take river cruises to the spectacular Maya ruins there.
Thank you for sharing! Belize is no doubt a very beautiful country with lots of great things going on.
Can you please do a comparison of the retirement programs for both these countries? Thanks!
Will try Jason! Thanks for stopping by :)
Thank you for this informative video!

Super!
Looking to move my company to Panama because of the ability to ship from the canal. Very hard to ship our products out of Tennessee. So hopefully I can make a deal with Panama.
wow, what a crazy comparison in terms of infrastructure, all of Belize looks like Calidonia, which is the poorest street in Panama. English is spoken very well in Bocas del Toro, Colon, and neighborhoods like Rio Abajo, Paraiso, Chorrillo, with a high influence of Afro-Antilleans who came for the construction of the 1904 canal. Education in Panama teaches English in schools and at a private level, but just as they teach Spanish in the US IF YOU WANT YOU LEARN IT AND OTHERWISE YOU JUST PASS THE COURSE AND THAT'S IT... thank God it's a a country that does business with various countries in the world so it does not depend on the language... the dollar has been used since 1903 and it has a banking sector of more than 120 banks from all over the world. the largest cargo ports in both the Pacific and the Atlantic. the second largest free zone in the world, that is, you move merchandise without paying taxes that you can buy apart from all this, it is the only country that in a hundred years has not suffered damage to its economy due to depression since it has never had a central bank.. aside Of all this, it is a country where different nationalities live, as normal to see Chinese, Turks, Arabs, Jews, Spanish, English, European, South American, so it has a cosmopolitan gastronomy from every corner of the world, so you can imagine that as Panamanians you have to learn the different languages that exist in Panama would be too ridiculous
Umm...Belize it's not an island. You referenced it as such when talking about grocery prices. Just a mispeak I would imagine.
I wonder if they were thinking about Ambergris Caye when they referenced island.
Belize versus Guyana could be the basis for your next video. Both Countries are English speaking in our hemisphere. British Guyana hasn't been discovered so it is not a tourist trap.
Thank you. Very helpful .
You're welcome!
Does language factor into things? I know that Panama is officially spanish but also very international. Belize is officially english but spanish is spoken quite a lot there these days. I'm monolingual so would panama be good for me?
Hey Greg, I think the language piece is actuallye one of the biggest differences in Panama vs Belize. As most people speak English in Belize, not the case in places like the grocery store, etc in Panama. Nearly everyone is friendly in Panama, meaning they are keen to "try" and communicate, and also likely to have someone very close (in the same company, or someone they can call) to try and translate.
@@PanamaequityRealEstate thanks that makes sense. Do you need Spanish as a business language in panama?
Belize speaks very little Spanish and yes since English is the main language of the world by far, way far, a lot of English is spoken in Panama, if Panama was smart they should make English their official language then the country would not be poor like all spanish countries are... That is a fact
@@HectorGarcia-nb2ld thats very insensitive to say. I think it would be beneficial for them to increase bilingual signage and teach english as L2 in schools. But you can’t ignore years of culture and replace Spanish for the sake of growth. Japan, Germany and France are all huge economies who’s main language isn’t english.
@@gregwilmot3260 What he said makes sense, and those countries you referenced are large countries that were established economies even before language barriers existed.
Late comment: surprised you didn’t mention language.
Agreed 100% and thought I mentioned it early on :) That's a big one for folks who dont speak Spanish!
Very helpful
Thanks
Happy to help
What about the language? Can you function speaking English in Panama?
Any place is better than Georgia.
Georgia is better than New York. And I live in Central New York, count your blessings my friend.
@@tomwilliams8675 why haven't you moved there?
hi how much would you say is the cheapest apartment in panama to rent
You could find apartments for rent in Panama for as low as $300/month, and in some cases less. Like anything, it depends on location, size and other factors.
@@PanamaequityRealEstate ok thank you. Your information is really helpful. Im in the country of Belize at the moment living and I
was planning to go live in panama city
Im looking to bring a business to the Canal, as what we ar building is very large and needs to be shipped via the canal..is your contact information available on this page?
Sure Albert, you can reach Kent by visiting our website at www.panamaequity.com
no housing comparison which would be one of the biggest factors...
Hi Ann, did you have a chance to read the full article?
@@kentdavis9271 this was a video?? I did not read an article.
@@anniesshenanigans3815 Sorry about that Ann! The link was in the description, here Kent gets in to detail on the property pricing: www.panamaequity.com/exploring-living-in-panama/panama-vs-belize/.
@@PanamaequityRealEstate thanks for the article..
Belize isnt a island and they also have mountains. Belize is also multicultural, and you can literally start businesses there too...
Indeed and thank you! The reference to the island was in fact regarding several of the cayes such as Ambergris, among others.
@PanamaequityRealEstate I didn't know this was still active. So, as a person, not business guy, or in the role of "real-estate seller" but as a avg of Joe, what do you think about belize?
@@jayboogeyman Belize is beautiful. It's also cheaper than Panama. 100% easier if you dont speak much Spanish, especially compared to the countryside of Panama. At the end of the day, it just kind of depends on what you like and what you are looking for :)
Belize has NOT developed its INFRASTRUCTURE : paved 4-lane highways, hospitals and specialized doctors and university faculty of medicine and dentistry.
Panama is way ahead of Belize for infrastructures.
Noted!
the thing i never hear about is crime when i watch these type of videos what is the gun laws if any for expats?
Hi there! buying guns in Panama is only possible for nationals and legal residents. Prices are almost double of what you would find in the US. There are a few gun shops from which to choose from. To obtain a gun, you have to visit the shop and purchase the gun. You must take a urine test to analyze for drugs. Additional forms are given for you to take a psychological test and collect DNA samples by government entities. All of the forms and tests are then taken back to the shop who, along with the gun, sends the complete package to the National Police for ballistics tests. Once given the Ok, a permit, will be issued for up to 5 years. The entire process will take 3-6 months before you receive your gun back with its permit. Once you have the permit, you're allowed to purchase the ammo.
Belize has Great English, Panama has shitty Spanish. Night and day difference
BELIZE IS NOT AN 🏝 BUT A COUNTRY THAT IS VERY POPULAR FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE MORE AND BE MORE SUCCESSFUL WITH THEIR BUSINESS
