MOVE TO MARBELLA WITH A GOLDEN VISA One of the most alluring ways to get Spanish residency is through a Golden Visa. It is a form of residency permit whose objective is to entice foreign investment by offering a number of benefits to those prepared to transfer their financial resources to Spain. An investor who is willing to invest and meets the necessary criteria can obtain a Golden Visa. Therefore, a foreign investor who wishes to acquire Spanish residency and, as a result, the opportunity to travel freely within the Schengen region, may do so by making real estate investments totaling at least 500,000 euros (excluding mortgage, or of a net price of at least 500,000 euros after deducting mortgage financing). The Golden Visa has the particularly desirable feature of not requiring the holder to live in Spain; instead, it merely needs them to visit at least once each year. Consequently, this is a perfect choice if the holder of a Golden Visa does not want to change their place of res...

Buying Real Estate in Belize Process

Buying Real Estate in Belize Process Belize Real Estate Buying Belize Real Estate is very easy and the process is much like in North America (USA & Canada). Belize is one of the few countries in Central America & the Caribbean where foreigners enjoy the same property ownership right as nationals in land ownership and tenure. When a foreigner buys property in Belize, they own it outright with a fee-simple land title. The preferred practice of owning Belize real estate is through a fee-simple title which is clear title freehold ownership.

Belize Travel & Visa Requirements

Belize Travel & Visa Requirements Belize is a very easy country to travel to and US & Canadian travelers do not require any visas when traveling to Belize. Actually, most countries and passports are able to travel to Belize freely and without a visa for 30 days. If you are visiting Belize as a tourist, you do not require a visa. When you enter Belize, you are issued a 30-day tourist visa in your passport. If visitors planning to stay longer than 30 days, they must have their passport re-stamped by a local immigration office. If you are extending your Belize stay longer than 30 days, the passport must be issued a new stamp, and pay an additional fee for every additional month they wish to stay. Visitors are able to continue to renew their tourist visa if they want to stay in Belize, without restrictions on length (as long as they get their visa renewed). This makes it very easy for people planning on relocating to Belize as they have no restrictions when it comes to the len...
