Property tax here in Mexico is on a municipal level. Here in Chapala you would pay about US $200 a year for a $300,000 home, which, of course, is a small fraction of what you would pay in California for the same house.

Belize has the QRP program, which stands for Qualified Retired Persons. It takes about 30 days to get it and you have to spend 30 days a year here in Belize to have it. You have to show US $2,000 a month coming into Belize or $24,000 a year and you have to renew it each year for a renewal fee. I am not entirely sure of the cost.

 

As a QRP, you can still hold an international account with us, because we don’t work with regular residents, but we can...

As a QRP, you can still hold an international account with us, because we don’t work with regular residents, but we can work with QRP residents. In order to get the QRP you only have to be 45. One of the major benefits of being a QRP is that you can bring a whole container load of household goods, a light aircraft, a jet ski, a golf cart (which is what we use to drive around here in the island), a vehicle, a boat and all of your household goods into the country duty free. This would provide you with a massive saving if you are looking to expatriate here.

 

Under the QRP you can own property and a business but you cannot work if you are a retired person. You can invest money and profit from your business but you cannot work in any place other than in your own business.  You can, however, own the business.
