What it means in practice

Apply well before the trip: visa processing for Belize depends on the embassy or consulate handling your application. The length of stay is the one printed on your visa.

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.

Before you go

Official details are shown in English.

  • iDeclare — digital immigration and customs form — Before arrival and again before departure; Free. Belize's embarkation/disembarkation form, run by Immigration, Customs and E-Governance. Filling it in online saves time at the border. Official site
  • Belize visa — Before travel, via a Belizean embassy/consulate or the Immigration Department; Most nationalities: BZ$200 single entry (valid 6 months).

At the border

  • Passport valid at least 6 months beyond your planned departure
  • Return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds may be requested

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Extend before you run out. Apply in person at an immigration office before your permit expires: each extension adds 30 days, fee BZ$200 for all nationals. Visa-required nationals must hold a visa before an extension is issued.
  • What overstaying costs. Overstaying without an extension can mean a fine, detention or deportation.
