I am not a lawyer and the law might have changed but I know some people who bought a house in Mexico, they had their public documents to prove that they bought a property, they moved in from the US to Mexico, and they brought almost all of their things all at once. If you cross the border from the US to Mexico, you have to prove them that you just bought a house in Mexico and you can move all your things in one go without paying any taxes. You don’t have to have a special visa in...I am not a lawyer and the law might have changed but I know some people who bought a house in Mexico, they had their public documents to prove that they bought a property, they moved in from the US to Mexico, and they brought almost all of their things all at once. If you cross the border from the US to Mexico, you have to prove them that you just bought a house in Mexico and you can move all your things in one go without paying any taxes. You don’t have to have a special visa in order to do that. However, you have to show that the title of the property is indeed under your name.

The most important thing you need to know about living overseas and retiring overseas is to keep an open mind and be respectful to the new culture you are moving into. Always remember you are the newcomer and as such, it is up to you to adapt to how things are done in your new chosen country. Do not expect the locals to speak English and change the way they have always done things to fit your expectations. It can be a bit frustrating at first, and there is always a...The most important thing you need to know about living overseas and retiring overseas is to keep an open mind and be respectful to the new culture you are moving into. Always remember you are the newcomer and as such, it is up to you to adapt to how things are done in your new chosen country. Do not expect the locals to speak English and change the way they have always done things to fit your expectations. It can be a bit frustrating at first, and there is always a learning curve, but keep an open mind and always be respectful to the local people and culture and it will get you where you want to go, eventually. It is also very important to make a very serious attempt at learning the local language and customs. Even if it is very difficult for you to learn a new language, it will make your life in a new country so much easier if you pick up the local lingo. You will find the locals will be very appreciative if you try to speak the local language, even if you are not doing well, they will help you if you at least try. 
When people ask me if there is corruption in Belize my rejoinder is, “What is your standard?” It doesn’t seem to matter where you are from, politicians and those with authority do wacky things and Belize is no different.When people ask me if there is corruption in Belize my rejoinder is, “What is your standard?” It doesn’t seem to matter where you are from, politicians and those with authority do wacky things and Belize is no different.
We were initially in Santiago, Veraguas, and out there we had a choice of about eight private schools, aside from the public schools. Some of the private schools are international schools that are franchised around the world.

I do not think the quality of the teaching is the same quality as the schools in the US, but it has been a long time since I have been to school, and we know that the quality of education in the US is diminishing quite fast. A lot of the schools here have the internet and the students work on computers. Some of them, although they are not 100% funded, keep their English classes. Each grade is asked to have an English class. The newly-elected president has mandated that all schools must teach Spanish with English. 
Wow! You have just finished reading a local paper and you have seen 14 different 'Realtors' advertised!
How do you know which one to choose? Do you go for the one with the biggest ad ("they must be successful, right?") or the one with the nicest looking ad, or the one that has pictures of the Realtors? ("I like the look of those people. They look honest and trustworthy")
Well, my advice is, you go for the one that...
