Business and work permits.

5 years ago
I am hoping someone possibly Connor can answer this simple question ( ok that doesn't mean a simple answer)

If one applies for and receives a self employed work permit and to run a business ( I am thinking he is thinking possibly in tourist accomodations)
Does that mean the normal immigration visa requirements rules are waived or is the monthly visa renewal and 12 month wait to put in your application still needed.
This was asked of me and I realized I had no Idea of the answer. I think it was because this guy has been told he couldn't run such a business himself on the QRP by some one else.

He is Old enough to apply QRP but is far too young,and with a young family, to actually retire for quite a while.

I would like a real life answer, from any person with actual knowledge and some experience within Belize.

I do not need a link to a Belize government website, and he has checked there is not an answer in the archives that covers this situation.
