Do I need a passport or visa to enter Belize?
All visitors entering Belize must provide a valid passport before entering the country. However, this does not apply to the approximately 750,000 cruise ship passengers who visit Belize every year. Border officials will not accept drivers licenses or birth certificates as travel documents. You should also make sure your passport will be valid until your scheduled time of departure from Belize, or entry could be refused. (Some airlines will not allow boarding unless your passport has at least six months of validity remaining!)
Belize has a three-tier system for visa requirments to enter the country. Citizens from Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, United States, Venezuela and CARICOM member states do not need a visa to enter Belize. There is a list of 31 countries, including many European and South American nations, whose nationals must get a visa to enter Belize. And there is another list of about 24 countries whose citizens must get a visa, pay appropriate fees, and obtain clearance from the Director of Immigration in Belize. Please refer to the Belize Immigration website to see which list your county is on.
