    Will great videos. I moved here in Sept 23. I moved here with $6000 USD in my pocket and a single backpack. I rent a nice cottage in Santa Elena. This area is fantastic. The total cost to live here including $200 a month for Visa extensions is just under $900 USD. That's everything , cell phone ,internet, water,gas,rent ($400 USD) insurance for my motorcycle. I bought my bike on day 2. (came out of my $6000.) electric and food. Soon I will be able to get a bank account and my residency. Life gets better every month. I love this place and can't wait to see what adventure comes today. For every scorpion,snake,lizard, fire and creepy crawlers here, there are 100 great things to do and see.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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?

      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.

    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...

    Who are these politicians who design these programs?? It is like they really don't want to see their country grow. Sometimes, I feel like they hate their fellow citizens and wish to see them wallow in poverty. How else do you explain what they do - take a look at Belize city and scores of other communities - the first thing you notice is a lack of employment opportunities and poverty. For over a decade, these so-called "leaders" have had the QRP program in place, yet they have blocked any opportunity for those same "supposedly" rich individuals to invest their capital into doing business and getting people employed in Belize. How insane can that be?? And then after a decade of inanity, they finally see the light, but now they are saying you need a minimum of $500K USD! I mean, the imperviousness is quite unbelievable. With 500K, you could get into far more developed countries and advanced sophisticated economies, including Canada and USA! Heck, ....for $150K to $250K, many Caribbean nations will even give you citizenship with absolutely no restrictions thereafter. Belize only has a population of 400,000 people, with GDP of USD$5 billion. With such an expansive landmass, the nation is crying out for human resource and investment - it is just so obvious! You would imagine that such an underpopulated and under-resourced nation would be far more proactive in finding and feeding its needs. But No! Certainly not evident to these "leaders". Your programs will do Belize very little good the way it is being implemented. Your leaders are just too insular and provincial! The world is a village and people have many options (especially rich people), you know? What do you want a retired 40 year old to do with his life if he can't do business? If you really want to succeed and do what is good for the nation, lower the investment threshold to $100K. After all, QRP candidates are not doing it so they can qualify. They already qualify, they are just looking to invest and contribute to the local economy! There are many wonderful countries in Southeast Asia and Baltics where you can invest less than 50K and get residency, and here is "little" Belize asking for half a million. For what??? They just don't get it. Imagine what 5000 new businesses of USD$100K each will do to the local economy? Imagine that happening again and again for the next 10 years?? Belize has to learn to compete, be less rigid and be much more resourceful in attracting desirable people. As it is, the ideas are stale and uninspiring, offering just too little in a world of big opportunities. You NEED people. You NEED resources. Wake up, Belize!!
