Belize Retirement: How to Reward Yourself After so Much Hard Work

What does Belize retirement reward you?

Reward yourself with the unending view of the sunrise and sunset. Dip your feet in the cool waters of the Caribbean. Swim in the warm, blue waters together with colorful schools of fishes living in beautiful coral beds. Take a peek at the naturally wild and lush rain forests of Central America. Live amidst historical Mayan ruins that showcase the greatness of an old civilization. Dig your toes in white sand and relax with a tall glass of your favorite ice cold beverage. If you are into bird watching, there are hundred upon hundreds of parks made into sanctuaries so you can observe over 500 species of birds flocking together.

Belize retirement means enjoying and rewarding yourself the pleasures of a life well-lived and well-planned. So, breathe in the fresh air and start living.

Belize retirement means you don't have to be stressed about city living. You no longer have to experience the cold winter because everyday it is warm here. Everything is relatively inexpensive in Belize and the people you meet are warm and hospitable. Belize retirement is the best kind of retirement there is!

So, how do you settle in this beautiful and amazing Central American island wedged in the Caribbean Sea?

Belize offers a Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Act. This act was approved via the Belize House of Representatives. This was done in 1999 and the whole operation is run by the Belize Tourism Board. The Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Act invites individuals a hassle-free retirement program.

The Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Act has gained huge interest that many people have flocked to join the program, resulting in the state having pending applications, backlogs and long queues which has not been settled by the board governing the act. Potential applicants must be aware that the process of retiring under Belize’s Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Act is not as easy as countries such as Mexico or Costa Rica.

If you are still interested in applying for the Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Act, you have to be 45 and above to join the program. If you bring your family (kids, spouse, relatives), then you are more qualified for the program, especially if the kids are under 18 years of age.
