The residency waiver for business owners went out with the last administration. As with most things here, things change with the political party. There was an "Economic Citizenship Program", which I think has since been eliminated also, where for a mere $50,000 USD contribution to the Government of Belize, you would be granted immediate citizenship, complete with a new passport, but I as I said, I believe that was eliminated also. I agree an advocate in Belmopan makes things easier and cheaper.
