Belize Covid-19 Travel Information

What are the requirements for entering Belize?

Effective July 12, 2022, travellers are no longer required to show proof of vaccination for entry into Belize’s airport, land borders or sea ports.
Unvaccinated travellers are no longer required to show proof of a negative PCR or a negative Antigen Rapid test upon arrival.
Every child under the age of 18 years will not be required to show proof of vaccination upon entry into Belize through airport, land or sea port.

The country’s primary concern is to assure both travellers and residents that Belize’s tourism product is safer than ever before.  A series of new enhanced health and safety protocols have been put in place to protect visitors, Belizeans, and our communities. 

These include:

1. Mandatory use of face masks in public spaces
2. Enforcement of social distancing measures in public spaces and capacity restrictions at restaurants (currently 50%), grocery stores, retail stores, etc.
3. Introduction of the “Tourism Gold Standard Program” for accommodation and tour operators, and other tourism entities which include gift shops, tourism transportation providers (domestic airlines, car rentals, and taxis), restaurants, and tourism sites.

The Gold Standard program seeks to enhance the tourism industry’s health and safety standards by adapting new behaviours and procedures to ensure both employees and travellers are confident in the cleanliness and safety of Belize’s tourism product. Some of these new measures include:

• Online check-in/out, contactless payment systems, and automated ordering/booking systems
• Hand sanitizing stations
• Enhanced cleaning and increased sanitization of public spaces and high touch surfaces
• Capacity restrictions for all tourism sites to ensure social distancing can be maintained
• Smaller tour groups to provide a more intimate tour experience

Gold Standard entities can be easily identified by looking for the Gold Standard Certificate or Safety seal.

Tourists visiting Belize can move about freely, however it is recommended that they remain within the Tourism Safe Corridor. The Tourism Safe Corridor includes Gold Standard certified accommodations, tour operators, tourism transportation providers, restaurants, tourism sites and attractions, and gift shops. These Gold Standard and certified entities have all been trained and have implemented enhanced health and safety measures.
