Laws relating to foreigners buying property in Belize.
There are no restrictions with regards to foreigners purchasing land or property in Belize. Belize is part of the British Commonwealth and the legal system is based on British common law. A foreigner has the same rights as a Belizean citizen to freehold property ownership.

There are no licenses, permits, special permissions or conditions needed for a foreigner to take title to freehold land in Belize.

Visa requirements
Citizens of the US, European Union and Commonwealth countries do not require visas if they have a passport and return ticket. Most other nationalities require a visa. British embassies frequently handle Belize's diplomatic affairs.

Taxes

Stamp duty is currently 5% in Belize, recently lowered from 15%. There is no capital gains tax. Income tax is a very low 1.75%.
