Working remotely in Belize. Where to begin.

Where the visa stands

Belize offers a 180-day program for qualifying people employed outside Belize. The annual income test is higher than many other programs in this region.

Start with your work plans

The program covers qualifying overseas employment. It is not permission to take a local Belizean job. The official income requirement is annual, not monthly.

Describe who pays you, where your employer or clients are based and what you would do while living abroad. Use those details when checking the official route. Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.

Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.

Take the first application step

Start with the Tourism Board’s program page and its Immigration Department application link.

The individual income figure does not cover a couple or family. Admission, insurance and the remaining evidence requirements still apply.

Keep two money questions separate

The visa income test concerns the evidence required for an application. A living budget concerns your housing, healthcare, transport and daily spending. Compare both before committing to a move.
