Belize Entry Requirements
⚠️ Required Before Arrival
iDeclare Form
All travelers to Belize must complete the online iDeclare immigration and customs declaration before arrival. Takes about 5 minutes. Can be completed anytime before arrival, we suggest at least 24 hours in advance — don't leave it until the airport!

Your Destination Airport
Philip S.W. Goldson Intl. (BZE)
All guests will fly into BZE — Belize's international airport. Use the airport code BZE when searching for flights. Please share your flight details with us, once booked so we can coordinate arrivals.

⚠️
Passport reminder: While Belize officially only requires your passport to be valid for 30 days beyond your stay, many airlines apply a blanket 6-month rule at check-in. We recommend ensuring your passport is valid for at least 6 months past your return date to avoid any issues at the airport.

Travel Insurance
⭐ Great for first-timers
Faye
Modern, app-based, and refreshingly simple. One plan with easy add-ons including cancel for any reason (CFAR) coverage. Our top recommendation if you've never purchased travel insurance before.
