Thank you, all residency stamps will say something, yours as a retiree means you are breaking the law if you make any income in the country. Or working at all for pay or no pay. Everyone check your residency stamp!!!!!!

Cooper - you have obviously not read your inbox! Please check your messages and please get your facts straight before you post!

You say you are sorry, but yet you are going on about facts that are NOT true! I KNOW the rules and what I'm allowed to do! You are now just confusing everyone else!

I'm not interested in getting into any debate with you! You're entitled to post what you want on here and no-one can stop you! But I just advertised for a job for myself which I'm entitled to do on the 'employment' section and I'm now quite pissed off with all your lies!

Let it drop..................

I was limited to being a businesswoman. Which meant I could not have a sex change operation!

He he he he......That's funny! Good one Amanda.....

Ah crap! Do I have to quit my job doing nothing for no pay?
What am I going to do now?
Where do I send the resignation letter?

Lorna I wish you well. I respect that you post under your real name, and that you have invested your time, your energy, your good will in our community.

I think my residency also said "businesswoman". Wish it had said "millionaire". (I'm still looking for that job - if you know of any openings, let me know!).

If one really wanted to tend bar, I'd think "counselor" or "consultant" might cover it ..... yes, that was a joke. Trying to lighten the vibe a bit.

Again I am saying sorry for making the woman that posted this feel I am attacking her, she p.m.me I will post reply below. I cant say I handled this wrong any more times, all of us get passionate about things prior to thinking. However the law is the law. I was the last person in Belize offered a residency as an artist, next came my husband,It was like pulling teeth We know the laws, we also know the laws are only inforced when convienant. Or you are turned in...reply below....

I am so sorry that is true I did come over a bit hard. I have lived here for many years, and after rereading my post I am ashamed that it seemed I was attacking you. Yes the posters supported you. The fact however is it seems none of them know the laws of residency. I was not slandering anyone but you really dont want to be the one person that gets busted for not knowing the laws. It does not happen often, but its unusual for a person to put out a post of illigal content. Like you did. I know you did nothing wrong on purpose, but residency is restricted to a very certain occupation. no it is not inforced. Only rarely do people get in truoble for it. I just think of the U.S. and all its citizens bitching about illigal residents, then the U.S. Citizens come here and do the same shit. This country is not as strong as the U.S. We have to leave space for the Belizeans. Just because laws are not inforced here, and money talks does not mean you can ignore the jobs that are taken away from Belizeans. Again no reference to you.

Ok, so this all happened over the weekend. I dont know again how to say I am sorry, I appologize and now I have to say I am wrong. I talked to Belmopan, and 2 years ago they stopped putting occupations on residencies. It was to hard to control and restrict a residents occupation. As the officer explained if a person got his residency as a student, he would have to remain a student and that was part of the oversight and change. A retired person is allowed certain oppurtunites a non retired person gets and they are not allowed to work. They may however draw income, that is not taxed from outside Belize, such as business run via internet etc.... Feel free to continue making ugly comments to me, I deserve it, things do change.

Thank you
