General Belize Information

Immigration Building in Belmopan

Here you can find information about such things as Daylight Savings Time in Belize, government offices, both national and local, and advice on things that don’t seem to fit in any other category. Sort of a miscellaneous hodge-podge. If you can’t find a category that seems to fit what you want to know, try here.

Official business in Belize if often accomplished in ways that are unfamiliar to people from other countries. Here you will find information to help you find what you need and to be able to do whatever business is required. As with any bureaucracy, good manners and patience will serve you best in any interaction with authorities. Always take your passport with you when you leave your house for town – at the checkpoint they have been known to send BIBers back home to get it. Even if you own property in Belize and have lived here for years, until you get your resident stamp and are a bona-fide resident, you are still considered a tourist.
