Belize Travel Declaration requirements
All travelers are required to complete the Belize Travel Declaration before boarding their flight or entering the country via land or sea. This digital system is a mandatory requirement to clear customs and immigration and is separate from any visa requirements.
The process is designed to streamline entry into the country, allowing you to declare your travel details and customs information in advance.

- Who it's for
- Every traveler entering Belize, whatever their nationality. Travelers who need a Belize entry visa must still obtain one separately, because the declaration never substitutes for a visa and confers no right of entry.
- What it covers
- Tourism, business, family visits and any other authorized reason for entering Belize. There are no purpose sub-categories and no separate product per purpose, so purpose of visit is only a field on the one form.
- How you travel
- Required for arrival by air, by sea, and at the land crossings from Guatemala and Mexico. Air arrivals give a flight number where land arrivals give a vehicle number, but the requirement itself is the same.
- Delivery format
- A digital QR code confirmation shown on screen once you submit. Nothing is mailed to you by default, so save or print it before you travel.
- Good to know
- Every traveler needs their own declaration, infants included, completed by a parent or guardian using the minor's passport details. A declaration is single use, so it cannot be reused, amended after arrival or carried over to a second trip. Under-18s traveling without both parents should carry an original birth certificate and a notarized parental consent letter.
- Validity
- Valid for 30 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 14 days per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 15 minutes

The entire process was easy to understand and fast the system almost did all was just to follow the guidelines.
The process was surprisingly quick and easy. Minor problem is that I'm traveling with my husband and the document came back stating that I was not traveling with family. That statement didn't come from me.
For someone who is computer illiterate, the application process was very easy and I received confirmation immediately that it was correct and complete.
Customer service is quick and professional. Best way to get a visa.
First time using and it was much faster than a paper form.
Strange that had to pay almost 300 US dollars for something that we as Swiss citizens traveling to Belize don’t even need a visa and the final documents came well after we took the flight and cleared immigration
Im very satisfied with ivisa, their service is very fast, and good.
I have already paid for the visa WHY are they asking me to pay again to complete the process ??? Why are they calling it insurance? Why not visa? I didn’t apply for insurance but for VISA
I really thanks ivisa, i can t imagine that all my papers is already mine in only 3 hours .oh my God really good job ivisa..thanks a lot
Belize visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Belize Travel Declaration.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Belize Travel Declaration even if I don't need a visa?
Yes. The Travel Declaration is a mandatory entry requirement for every person entering Belize, regardless of nationality or visa-exempt status (including US, Canadian, and UK citizens). It is a customs and security declaration used by the Belizean government.
How will I receive the Belize Travel Declaration?
You will receive a confirmation via email with a QR code or reference number. This document contains your approval status. You should save this on your mobile device or print a copy to show at check-in and to the Belize Immigration and Customs officers. You can also find a copy of your declaration confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.
How long can I stay in Belize?
For most tourists, the initial stay granted upon arrival is typically 30 days. If you wish to stay longer, you must visit a local immigration office in Belize to apply for a "Visitor's Permit" extension for an additional fee. Extensions are usually granted for 30 days at a time.
When should I apply for the Travel Declaration?
You can apply as soon as you have your flight and accommodation details. We recommend applying at least 24–48 hours before your arrival to ensure everything is processed smoothly before you head to the airport.
Do children/minors need a Belize Travel Declaration?
Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must be included in a declaration. Depending on the current government rules, families traveling together may sometimes be able to complete a single joint declaration, but individual QR codes are often required for security. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session.
Can I reuse my Belize Travel Declaration?
No. It is for single entry only. You must complete a new Belize Travel Declaration registration every time you enter the country.
What happens if I forget to submit the form before arriving?
The Belize Travel Declaration is a mandatory requirement. If you arrive without it, you will be required to complete it at the port of entry using local Wi-Fi or cellular data, which can lead to significant delays and long lines at immigration. Applying in advance with iVisa ensures you can breeze through the arrival process.
What happens if my application is denied?
The most common reasons for issues are typos in the passport number or date of birth. iVisa's expert review catches these errors to avoid delays and meet all government requirements before submission. iVisa also offers optional denial protection as an add-on to your application.
