Year Of Service

A single person can live comfortably on $1,500–$2,000 per month, including rent and food.

Couples often spend $2,000–$3,000 per month, depending on their lifestyle.

A two-bedroom apartment in Belize City costs around $600–$2,000 per month, depending on amenities.

In smaller towns like San Ignacio or Corozal, housing is even more affordable.

Shopping locally and using fresh produce can further reduce expenses, though imported goods carry high import taxes (up to 45%), which can increase costs for certain items.

A Melting Pot of Cultures with English as the Official Language

Belize is the only country in Central America where English is the official language. This makes it easier for expats to communicate, integrate into local communities, and navigate daily life without language barriers.

Stunning Natural Beauty

Belize's natural beauty is one of its biggest draws. The country is home to:
