Located on the eastern coast of Central America, Belize has become a popular retirement spot for U.S. citizens thanks to their Qualified Retirement Program. To qualify, all you have to do is prove that you generate $24,000 annually via pension, social security, or personal savings, and they’ll grant you permanent residency. Perks of the program include a handful of significant tax exemptions (including income tax), as well as an ease of purchasing land.
