If you do not have a return ticket you have to have enough money to buy one. The last fellow I know that did this had to take $1,800 (I can't remember it that was BZ or US $) everytime he got his pasport stamped; every 30 days. AND that is not once a month. It is really 29 days as you must go in the day before your 30th day. The good thing about this it keeps some of the vagrants out.

So to enter the country I just need to have enough cash on me to show them that I can buy a plane ticket home? That should be easy enough. But will they want me to give it to them to keep on deposit or something? I'm not sure they'd ever give it back...

You most definitly need a return ticket,unless you have residency, or you are flying TACA, they get around that somehow because they fly into San Salvador first, and they are not a US based airline. Oh the stories I have heard about people having to buy last minute return tickets$$$$$$ We always fly back on one way tickets and are always asked this, but they check our passports and residency and let us go. Heres what we used to do. We would buy a bus ticket from Belize City to Chetumal that is acceptable instead of the return ticket. I would imagine you could contact a travel agent here via email purchase a bus ticket and have them fax it to you. Cost is $10 US

Also, check with your airline. I originate my travel in Belize to the US and am often asked by the airline (TACA) when I check in with my US passport on my return to Belize for my proof of return travel to the US until I show my proof of residency for Belize.

Just wanted to add this has nothing to do with entering the country, nothing to do with immigration or how much cash you have, this will be checked at the airline ticket counter when you check in for your flight in The US, I am sure some folks got by somhow but for the last 8 years we have flown here on one ways about 12 times and except for TACA, it has always been a issue.We have flown, Delta, American, US air, Continental
