I have friends that have been very successful with the QRP program and after 5 years they were the first retirees on QRP to obtain Belizean Citizenship - releasing them from the need to "qualify" each year.

Other friends have used the program and found it beneficial and others dropped it as it became burdensome for them to go through the re-qualifying process each year.

As with any incentive program, the benefits do not always outweigh the pain in the butt factor! The incentives were great for some, people moving down their belongings, bringing in vehicles, moving money out of their mother country to the new host country etc.
