Ambergris Caye, Belize

Ambergris Caye is the largest island of Belize located northeast of the country in the Caribbean Sea. Gentle temperature, serene atmosphere and stunning beaches make Ambergris a retirement heaven. Belize is mostly covered by forest and is rich in flora and fauna. With affordable lifestyle and budget-friendly properties, Ambergris has attracted many retirees on a permanent basis. However, it’s easy to get legal residency in Belize and foreigners pay tax only on income derived in the city that is upto 25 percent. There are no taxes on non-Belize income.
