There are many reasons why people seek to retire abroad, including the cost of living, lifestyle choices, laid-back atmosphere, and adventure, just to name a few. Many people are considering retirement in Belize as a realistic option. Sol Property Group specializes in living abroad and international properties. Here are 5 good reasons why a person should consider Belize in their retirement plans.

1. Belize offers an excellent retirement program for foreign buyers. Belize’s Qualified Retiree Program allows you to bring a car, boat, or plane tax-free. You can also bring in up to $15,000 of work in household items tax-free. The program also allows for fairly quick residency approval for qualified applicants.
2. Belize offers a very reasonable low cost of living. People can live comfortably on $2,000 a month. Also, most people don’t spend a lot of money on things like fuel and other travel expenses associated with traveling since you are in one of the best tourist destinations in the world.
3. Wonderful Weather: Belize is a country many may not have heard of, yet it offers many opportunities to relax in the sun and retire in pure bliss. After all, most people want to spend their retirement somewhere they can feel comfortable, right? As a general term to describe the climate here, Belize is best classified as having a subtropical climate. The good news is that most of the time, Belize is very comfortable.
4. Enjoy an active lifestyle: the cays (small islands made up mostly of sand and coral) are also attractions with the barrier reef to explore. Water sports are very popular, including scuba diving, sailing, fishing, and even animal watching. Far from the sea are the mountains. The Mountain Pine Ridge region is one option and the Maya Mountains another. Throughout this area you will find beautiful waterfalls and even some of the oldest Mayan cities.
5. Accessibility – Belize is located just south of Mexico with direct flights from many US cities. The other benefit is that this also makes other areas of the region and the Caribbean just a short flight away. Making retirement in Belize a solid option for those looking for retirement options abroad.
