My father, Ruben Ricketts, left his home in Belize, 1940s, and emigrated to Edinburgh, Scotland. He was among the men who were invited to go the UK by the UK government to take up employment and fill the job vacancies after WWII ended. He married my Mum, a Scottish lady, and together, they had four children, of which I am one.

Thanks Will. Excellent video. The information is timely and powerful. That QRP Investment update is a game changer and has the opportunity to transform Secret Beach (since I own out there), but the country in general. I believe the investors will be knocking down the door for both tourism and agriculture opportunities. Please keep sharing. The future is truly looking bright for Belize!

Thanks Will . Great video. Thank you to the BTB reps for the very articulate well spoken and explained details of this new program. This is a great new program that will make it easier for investors and retirees to bring goods and materials to belize to set up businesses and their homes . This will be great for employment of locals and have a significant impact on contributing to the local economy as well. Thank you

Hey Will Very informative video. Really enjoyed hearing first hand from the people that are implementing the new policies ( might be checking into the investment qrp). It’s so important for any investment especially by the government to make things happen vs. letting it happen. The momentum and trajectory is there. Keep up the exciting changes, growing at a planned , well thought out growth rate. Ps Hopefully will be back enjoying a great meal soon at the new pool club

Great video Will! Glad to see Belize progressing in a very positive way. It's nice to hear that with the amendments to the QRP that retirees can now find employment - at least for part time. I just hope that this doesn't take away employment opportunities for local residents. However, seeing how fast Ambergris Caye is growing this shouldn't be an issue. My fear for the island is that it will get too overpopulated and be like Aruba or other like islands. I know last time I visited one of our dive guides stated they keep raising the number of floors that a building/hotel can be. One thing I fell in love with Ambergris Caye is that it wasn't overpopulated and still had that small island culture. I hope that greed doesn't go too far and turns this beautiful island into a commercialized location....if you know what I mean :). Guess we will have to hope for the best!

Hey David glad you enjoyed!

Will - all your videos are great. We actually bought some land from your team last year and hats off to the whole team because they are amazing. Are there links or a direct line for the digital nomad visa information? Everyone I speak to doesn't know the exact process or whom to contact. No information online either

What specifically must be the source of regular income that a Canadian or American retiree can show to obtain the QRP residency, and what is required to keep the residency active, including living in the country? As an alternative, can a snowbird easily find a place to live for a few months a year, especially in the San Pedro region?

This was exciting news! Huge

No capital gains tax, no estate tax very low property tax amongst other great incentives. With residency can get your bank account set up. As for crypto are you referring to transactions using crypto or holding crypto?

It says "personal savings". But how does "personal savings" generate 2k a month? Here's the deal. If I sell my house, and I have 500k in the bank, but no official monthy 2k income, do I qualify for this program?

Hi there I recommend reaching out to Romy on tgat and getting clarification she can definitely help

Thats the only thing i don’t like. I’m planning my move. I’m not the qualifying age. But I can do the nomad program. I just don’t care for the $100 a month usd fee. Nor do I like that I can’t work while I am there. Because I wanted to develop a program at a highschool I had in mind

I was looking into the nomad program, but it sounds like you’re kicked out after 6 months. Can we not stay longer and extend it? I could be wrong, but that’s how I understood it.

@@meginbelize I’m not sure. I know if you don’t do the nomad program you still have to pay the fee every month. But I’m not sure if it’s a time limit on the stay. But I also wonder if you leave cross boarders. Then just come back does that count as leaving or do you physically have to fly out.

Is there a link to the BTB portal on this site to make it easy for application or can I have an application emailed to me

Not sure if this would be the best path on that. You would likely have to pay duties if you don't qualify for this program unfortunately. I would personally sell as much as possible then purchase in Belize but it really depends on the items as most everything is taxed at different rates.
