- Will Mitchell sits down with the Belize tourism board to discuss the changes to retirement and immigration laws. With major updates coming to the qualified retired persons program and other unique policy changes this is an exciting announcement for anyone who is looking at moving to the country of Belize.

My father, Ruben Ricketts, left his home in Belize, 1940s, and emigrated to Edinburgh, Scotland. He was among the men who were invited to go the UK by the UK government to take up employment and fill the job vacancies after WWII ended. He married my Mum, a Scottish lady, and together, they had four children, of which I am one.
That's cool
Have those ladies on MORE of your videos! Great info. Thanks.
We will make that happen!
Thanks Will. Excellent video. The information is timely and powerful. That QRP Investment update is a game changer and has the opportunity to transform Secret Beach (since I own out there), but the country in general. I believe the investors will be knocking down the door for both tourism and agriculture opportunities. Please keep sharing. The future is truly looking bright for Belize!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Happy new years and many more to come!
Amazing information Will! Thanks for continuing to help grow the hype here in Belize!

Thanks Will . Great video.
Thank you to the BTB reps for the very articulate well spoken and explained details of this new program. This is a great new program that will make it easier for investors and retirees to bring goods and materials to belize to set up businesses and their homes . This will be great for employment of locals and have a significant impact on contributing to the local economy as well. Thank you

Hey Will
Very informative video. Really enjoyed hearing first hand from the people that are implementing the new policies ( might be checking into the investment qrp).
It’s so important for any investment especially by the government to make things happen vs. letting it happen. The momentum and trajectory is there. Keep up the exciting changes, growing at a planned , well thought out growth rate.
Ps Hopefully will be back enjoying a great meal soon at the new pool club
Thank you! I am looking into this now :) I really appreciate your video's and i hope to meet you all one day!
Thank you so much and glad to hear you enjoyed!
Nice one Will ..
Thank you 🙏
Will, this was great! Thanks!! It's feeling really in alignment with my plans to move to Belize later this year! Really excited!
Love to hear that!! Happy new years and hope you can make that goal a reality 🙏
Wow. getting nervous to hear all this good news. Sounds great . regards frm Germany
Thank you Will. Your videos inspire so many ppl to make the jump and live in paradise. You and Chris are both amazing and we can’t wait to move there and enjoy island life.
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! Hope everything is good with you :)
This is amazing!
Hey David glad you enjoyed!
Love it! Simone is the best.
Will - all your videos are great. We actually bought some land from your team last year and hats off to the whole team because they are amazing. Are there links or a direct line for the digital nomad visa information? Everyone I speak to doesn't know the exact process or whom to contact. No information online either
This was exciting news! Huge
Yes it is!!! Very exciting
What specifically must be the source of regular income that a Canadian or American retiree can show to obtain the QRP residency, and what is required to keep the residency active, including living in the country? As an alternative, can a snowbird easily find a place to live for a few months a year, especially in the San Pedro region?
Great information I can’t wait to visit. I will be retiring in 3 years
I'm glad you found the information helpful! I hope you have an amazing time when you finally get to visit after retiring.If you ever have any questions I can be reached at will@remaxbelizerealestate.com
This is great!!!! Answered all the questions I had about my decision to retire in Belize. Thanks Will!!! See ya soon
There we go!!! Love to hear it thank you as well!
Great video! Perfect information! But I won't invest more until there is a path to citizenship. For now I'll just buy land.
Sounds like a solid plan and I appreciate the positive comment! If you haven't seen the latest video with the Mayor that is another good one to check out!!
@WillMitchellBelize for sure. Lot of opportunities. I'll have to hit you up next time I'm in Belize.
Informative, easy and from the source!
Wow, awesome information and I'm retired.
Thank you so much Dewayne!!!!
This is such an amazing new development. The future of Belize is looking bright!
Big moves!
Great video Will! Glad to see Belize progressing in a very positive way. It's nice to hear that with the amendments to the QRP that retirees can now find employment - at least for part time. I just hope that this doesn't take away employment opportunities for local residents. However, seeing how fast Ambergris Caye is growing this shouldn't be an issue. My fear for the island is that it will get too overpopulated and be like Aruba or other like islands. I know last time I visited one of our dive guides stated they keep raising the number of floors that a building/hotel can be. One thing I fell in love with Ambergris Caye is that it wasn't overpopulated and still had that small island culture. I hope that greed doesn't go too far and turns this beautiful island into a commercialized location....if you know what I mean :). Guess we will have to hope for the best!
Belize will be okay.
Lots of exciting updates on the horizon!!!
This is so informative! Belize is on my list of places to retire. And the retirement incentives for people who want to conduct business is a bonus for a small business owner like myself. That's for this valuable information.
I'm glad you found the video informative! Belize does offer some great incentives for retirees and small business owners.
This is so amazing. I would love to do the QRP and buy some property in Belize!!!
Hey there if you’d like to find out more about the program feel free to email Romy Romy.Rancharan@belizetourismboard.org
For real estate needs I’m happy to assist! Will@remaxbelizerealestate.com
Thank you Sir. I will be contacting y’all very soon. Please keep these very informative videos coming. I am enjoying each and every one of them.
So with the QRP, Social Security benefits are not taxed in Belize?
wow this is amazing news!
Awesome, right? So happy to share this exciting update with you!
How does the program calculate the 90 days non- consecutive days in Belize per year for QRP? Say 1 month 3 times a year?
Do you have any videos going into specifically the immigration issues for North Americans?
Will that was a very informative video. Great to know the benefits of btb. We’re definitely going to take advantage of that. This is definitely a game changer! Now btb ladies if you need a 40 years or older btb model I’m your girl!😅😊
Hahaha let’s make that happen 🤣
I'm happy to get in there and model with you too, sis! 😜🥰
WIll, Could you ask the BTB if they'd consider adding boat/water vessel to the exemption list. I mean, they have aircraft :).
The video mentions "vehicle, vessel and aircraft".
Where do I sign up?!?!?! Would love to buy some land!
Do you have any consultation for social security and birth certificate in Belize
Can spouses qualify separately to bring in individually owned vessels/vehicles duty free or are married couples considered 1 unit?
I bought 2 lots in secret beach from his guy Trevor. We will be there this year to check it out!😊
Amazing!! Congratulations on your investment
What realtor or website you used? I’m looking to buy
@@Dcj01I used Will and Trevor with Remax
Which restaurant are you in?
Looks like Will has a new aircraft in his sights. 😂
Great news about the investment amendment.
Hahahahah 🤫
Talking about investment opportunities, how is the tax structure and banking towards foreign investor or retirees? Also is Belize friendly toward crypto like Dubai? Thanks😊
No capital gains tax, no estate tax very low property tax amongst other great incentives. With residency can get your bank account set up.
As for crypto are you referring to transactions using crypto or holding crypto?
Is there a link to the BTB portal on this site to make it easy for application or can I have an application emailed to me
Please email Romy and she will be able to assist Romy.Rancharan@belizetourismboard.org
Thank youuuu.. plus Simone is a yardy str88. Spot the accent 😊😅
Umm I just wanna pick up n leave nyc and live in Belize. Soon soon, unnu juss hold on deh.
Keen ear hahah we ready for you over here 🫡
Did you force your residence to get vaccinated?
Would Military disability be a acceptable form of income verification
Hey there please shoot me an email at will@remaxbelizerealestate.com and we can help
It says "personal savings". But how does "personal savings" generate 2k a month?
Here's the deal. If I sell my house, and I have 500k in the bank, but no official monthy 2k income, do I qualify for this program?
Hi there I recommend reaching out to Romy on tgat and getting clarification she can definitely help
My brother, I have a question. I love this country and I want to visit it. Do I need a visa? I am from Morocco 😊❤
Hi brother! As far as I know you're good to go and don't need a visa!
What does the half milion have to be invested in?
Great question. Could be anything domestic. Real estate or local businesses would be the two primary options. If you’d like more specific info please email Romy at Romy.Rancharan@belizetourismboard.org
Im a dual citizen looking to move back to belize. My wife is retired but only 33 years old. We have property in Hopkins and plan on buying more. And advice to get any tax exemption. Our 2 vehicles and everything else is going to be the biggest expense
Not sure if this would be the best path on that. You would likely have to pay duties if you don't qualify for this program unfortunately. I would personally sell as much as possible then purchase in Belize but it really depends on the items as most everything is taxed at different rates.
@WillMitchellBelize thanks for your time. Looks like I'll be loading up my camper and driving down keep the great content coming
Thats the only thing i don’t like. I’m planning my move. I’m not the qualifying age. But I can do the nomad program. I just don’t care for the $100 a month usd fee. Nor do I like that I can’t work while I am there. Because I wanted to develop a program at a highschool I had in mind
I was looking into the nomad program, but it sounds like you’re kicked out after 6 months. Can we not stay longer and extend it? I could be wrong, but that’s how I understood it.
@@meginbelize I’m not sure. I know if you don’t do the nomad program you still have to pay the fee every month. But I’m not sure if it’s a time limit on the stay. But I also wonder if you leave cross boarders. Then just come back does that count as leaving or do you physically have to fly out.
do i need a passport to get into Belize ??????
Good question yes you do!
You can not use equity in your property to qualify.
What's romis contact? If married, can each partner apply separately if each invests 500k into investments?
Romy.Rancharan@belizetourismboard.org
The amendment says you can work now!? Wow! That's huge. This has changed my mind about applying for QRP... that and bringing my ✈️ haha jk.
❤
Can I have the email address of the lady for retirement program? Thank you so much!
Hey there it is romy.rancharan@belizetourismboard.org
Now that i’m moving here, this is great to know 😏
My guy lets make this move lol
So what of you wanted to build a Casino ?
❤❤❤❤🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🎉🎉🎉
I appreciate your support!
I am not married but am common law for many years.
Will that work.
If you shoot Romy an email she can answer all the specifics! Romy.Rancharan@belizetourismboard.org
Great News....glad to see Belize "morphing" ...I personally would like to see a "citizenship by Investment" offer...set the bar high...at least US$5 Million to participate...these funds could certainly assist in the capital requirements for National Infrastructure. Will, would you please pass this thought to the appropriate individual...
that kind of pricing would cause the program to fail in the first year. CBI programs are extremely competitive
Just make the effort to inform the Belizean government that there is viability in a CBI program...that's all I am asking...perhaps the US$5 Million is too high...but at the moment there is no CBI for Belize...
Hopefully one day we can have a program like that! Would love to see it
😂 $5 million
I love it when western boomers who have been wage slaves their entire life try to talk investments and business
1/2 Million dollar investment in Central America 😂
😂😂😂😂
Bruh...I'm from Brooklyn, NY live in ATL now bought land in Secret Beach trying to stay a step ahead!!!
