Hey Emily,
Yes, the Belize Travel Declaration generates a unique QR code upon completion, which is mandatory for entry. You'll need to present this QR code to immigration and customs officials at the airport, along with your passport and any other required documents.
It's advisable to save the QR code on your mobile device and carry a printed copy as a backup.

Questions?
When did Belize introduce the travel declaration?
Belize launched its new digital immigration and customs declaration system in late 2024. It started with Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport and is gradually rolling out to all ports of entry. That means if you’re flying in now, you’ll need to complete it before arrival.
What information do I need to provide in the form?
You’ll need to share your passport details, arrival date, flight number, accommodation in Belize, purpose of visit, number of bags, and a short travel history. It’s simple, but double-check everything before you submit.
Can I wait to complete the form after I arrive in Belize?
No. The declaration is meant to be completed before you travel. While paper forms were once available, the digital system is now the standard. Apply in advance with iVisa to avoid delays at the airport.
Do I need a printed copy or is the digital version enough?
We send you a QR code. Immigration officers can scan it on your phone, but we recommend also printing a backup copy. WiFi isn’t always reliable at the airports, and a paper version can save you time.
What if I make a mistake on my application?
If you notice an error, contact us immediately so our team can fix it for you. Typos in names or passport numbers can cause issues at immigration, so don’t wait. Our support team is available 24/7 via WhatsApp or iVisa customer service chat to resolve it quickly and make sure your declaration is correct.
