New members of the Belize forum, introduce yourselves here - 2026

Hi all,

Newbie on the Belize forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,
or to tell us more on your expat projects in Belize if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Welcome

Hi!

My wife and I are considering an extended-term stay in San Ignacio to support a ministry there.  We have many questions... about medical care, taxes, making connections...

We are considering buying a house (already have our eye on one!) and working remotely (me) while investing in the ministry and helping it grow.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

When we pulled into the Corozal District, everything clicked.


Within days, we found our house. We flew back to Ontario, sold everything, and four months later, in early 2023, my husband, our two teenage boys, and made the permanent move. Having navigated every step of international relocation, school shifts, and buying property firsthand, I now use my 20+ years of licensed real estate experience to help other families turn their own Caribbean dream into a secure, seamless reality.
