Do UAE passport holders need a visa to visit BZ?

UAE ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Belize for tourism. The United Arab Emirates is not on Belize's visa-exempt list, and Belize has no eVisa or general visa-on-arrival for Emirati nationals. You must apply in advance at a Belizean diplomatic or consular mission. Exception: if you hold a valid Schengen visa you may enter visa-exempt for up to 90 days, and holders of a valid US multiple-entry visa or US permanent residency may obtain a visa on arrival. As of 2026-05-30, a United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holder requires a visa to visit Belize for tourism. The official Belize Immigration Department visa-exemption list does not include the UAE, and Belize does not operate an eVisa system, so the visa must be obtained beforehand at a Belizean embassy or consulate (the application can be made at the nearest Belizean diplomatic/consular mission, since Belize has limited representation in the Gulf region). A single-entry visitor visa is generally valid for up to a 30-day stay; the official domestic fee is BZD 200 for single entry and BZD 300 for multiple entry, while applications filed through a Belizean mission abroad are commonly USD 50 (single) or USD 100 (multiple) plus a handling/shipping charge. Processing can take up to about 30 business days. A practical alternative for many Emirati travelers: holders of a valid Schengen visa are visa-exempt for up to 90 days, and holders of a valid US multiple-entry visa or US Permanent Resident card can obtain a visa on arrival in Belize. Passports must be valid at least six months.
