Where should I setup a bank account in Belize?
We asked expats in Belize what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Before retiring to Belize, expats should familiarize themselves with the residence and visa requirements. Additionally, expats should research the cost of living and healthcare system in Belize to make sure it fits their budget. Make sure to educate yourself about any tax obligations that come with retiring in Belize. It is also a good idea to take note of the local laws and customs. Finally, understand what basic service you will have access to, such as internet, phone, and mail," remarked another expat who made the move to Belize.
