Visa requirements for Belizean citizens

Belizean citizens need a Schengen visa, which covers all member states for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Of the 198 countries whose entry rules are known in both directions, Belize and 57 of them let each other’s citizens in without a visa obtained in advance (visa-free, on arrival or with an ETA; an e-visa counts as a visa).

49 countries ask holders of the Belizean passport for a visa beforehand, although their own citizens enter Belize without one: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium and 44 others.

The reverse holds for 30 countries: holders of the Belizean passport get in without a visa obtained in advance, but their citizens need one for Belize (Angola, Benin, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde and 25 others).

69 countries ask holders of the Belizean passport for a visa obtained before travel from an embassy, a consulate or a visa centre. 7 of them have an embassy or consulate on record in Belize.

62 countries have no embassy or career consulate on record in Belize, so the application usually goes to one of their posts in another country. Counting the post an official diplomatic list names for Belize, or else the nearest one within 2,000 km, those posts are most often in Mexico (7), Cuba (7) and Guatemala (4).

The United States refused 32% of visitor-visa (B1/B2) applications from citizens of Belize in fiscal year 2025, by the State Department’s adjusted refusal rate. 99 of the 197 nationalities with a published rate had a lower one and 97 a higher one; the middle value was 32%.

Visa-free travel with the Belizean passport

By continent, the Belizean passport is visa-free in 27 countries in the Americas, 16 countries in Africa, 9 countries in Asia, 4 countries in Oceania and 3 countries in Europe. The longest visa-free stays for Belizean citizens are allowed in Georgia (360 days), Antigua and Barbuda (180 days), Barbados (180 days), Dominica (180 days), Guyana (180 days) and Mexico (180 days).

Visa on arrival

Belizean citizens can get a visa at the airport or land border of Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, the Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and 17 others.

E-Visa and electronic travel authorisation

An e-Visa, applied for online before the trip, is how Belizean citizens enter Albania, Armenia, Australia, Bahrain, Bhutan, Bolivia, Burkina Faso and 35 others. Israel, Ivory Coast, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis and the United Kingdom ask instead for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), a lighter online check than a visa.

Belize’s neighbours

Guatemala and Mexico admit Belizean citizens without a visa.
