Incredible Growth Opportunities

The economy in Belize is solid. Property values are especially stable, and have grown at a steady rate for several decades.

Property taxes are relatively low in Belize, and there are no capital gains or inheritance taxes. The country also boasts one of the region’s more liberal retirement programs, the Retired Person’s Incentive Program. Under its terms, foreign citizens who meet a few basic requirements can import their possessions duty free and gain special residence status.

Currency Exchange

Belize currency exchange is extremely easy for American visitors. The Belize dollar is locked at $2 BZ = $1 USD. Most places readily accept USD currency as well as traveler’s checks with a valid passport or driver’s license. Large bills (anything above a $20 bill) are a little more difficult to cash. ATMs are available across the country, particularly in most tourist destinations.
