Belize introduces a new online arrival and departure immigration and customs declaration system, allowing you to complete and submit your entry form before traveling to Belize.

EASY TO GET TO
HARD TO LEAVE

Escaping to Belize is easy with direct flights out of many major city hubs. With most major airlines making trips daily, it’s easier than ever to get in, out, and all around Belize.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS

Commercial airlines all land at the Philip Goldson International Airport (PGIA) in Ladyville, just minutes from Belize City. Private airplanes need to be cleared through the Belize Airport Authority and Civil Aviation Department at the PGIA

CRUISE PASSENGERS

While one day is never enough to take it all in, you can still see and do quite a bit during your short visit because we’re a small country.

Book a day trip, drink in the culture or do some shopping at one of the many markets.

SMALL NON-COMMERCIAL SEA VESSEL

Entering Belize’s port via a private sea vessel or live aboard can be a seamless process. Follow the step-by-step process and protocols here for ease of entry.

New Digital Embarkation/Disembarkation E-Form for Travelers

In order to make your travel to Belize seamless, the Department of Border Management and Immigration Services, in collaboration with the Customs and Excise Department and the Ministry of Public Utilities, Energy, Logistics, and E-Governance are announcing the launch of a digital Embarkation/Disembarkation (E/D) e-form designed for all travelers arriving in and departing from Belize starting December 1. With the e-form, visitors can complete the required passport and travel details online, streamlining their arrival and departure process. The new system allows travelers to fill out and submit their information in advance via a web link, reducing wait times and enhancing data accuracy for efficient processing at Belize’s borders.
