What it means in practice

The officer at the border decides how long you may stay in Belize; the date in your passport stamp is the one that counts. Ask for the days you need and carry proof of onward travel.

How Belize counts your stay: Up to 30 days from entry unless the officer grants less. Overstaying without an extension can mean a fine, detention or deportation. Work, paid or unpaid, is not allowed on a visitor permit.

How to avoid overstaying
