Easy Belize

Lan Sluder wrote seventeen books about Belize before this one, and that expertise shows on every page. Easy Belize covers forty chapters of practical information — real estate, residency, healthcare, safety, climate, banking — with the frank honesty of someone who knows what trips expats up. Peers from Rough Guide and National Geographic have called it the best guide of its kind. The honest caveats: the 2010 edition has genuinely outdated information on costs, laws, and real estate markets, so the 2016 updated edition is the one to seek out. And this is a very narrowly focused book — if you are not seriously considering Belize, there is nothing here for you. For those who are, it is an invaluable starting point. Completely family-safe.
