One of the most common real estate purchases to make here is that of a vacation home or condo. Most of my real estate clients don’t plan to live in Abergris Caye or Caye Caulker, Belize full time for or for several years, if ever.
“How long can I stay in Belize?”
When you arrive in the country of Belize, you will be issued a 30 day visa. If you would like to extend your stay past the 30 days, you must go to the Immigration Department office with your passport and pay US$25. You will be issued a visa for an additional 30 days.
“How many times can I renew my visa?”
Indefinitely. You can continue extend your visa for the duration of your stay in Belize. However, if you stay for more then 6 months in Belize, the visa extention fee goes up to US$50 for each additional 30 day visa. Many vacation home owners who have been coming Belize for years will continue to extend their visas from 3-6 months.
Is there an immigration services office in Caye Caulker?
No. The closest Immigration Department office is in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. The immigration office is located above our RE/MAX Island Real Estate office, across from Tropic Air.
