4. Belize
There’s not much to worry about in Belize, a place where you can both dive a barrier reef and explore ancient Mayan ruins in one day. On the other hand, why not simply kick back in a beach side hammock? With a very low cost of living, Belize is truly your oyster.
You need only live in Belize for a year before becoming eligible for permanent residence. All you need to do is enter the country on a visitor visa and renew it every month until you hit 50 consecutive weeks in Belize.
If you are over 45 years old, you can speed up the process with a Qualified Retired Persons visa, which requires a monthly income of $2,000. You won’t be able to work for a company within Belize on a QRP, but you can freelance remotely for an overseas company.
