Egypt to Belize visa requirements

Yes. Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Belize for tourism. Egypt is not on Belize's visa-exempt list, and there is no visa-on-arrival for Egyptian nationals. You must apply in advance at the nearest Belizean diplomatic or consular mission. One useful shortcut: if you hold a valid multiple-entry US or Canada visa/Permanent Residence Card, or a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa, you are exempt from the Belize visa for stays up to 30 days. Belize requires Egyptian ordinary passport holders to obtain a visitor visa before travel. Egypt does not appear on Belize's list of visa-exempt nationalities, and Belize does not offer visa-on-arrival to Egyptians. The standard visitor visa fee for "all other nationals" (which includes Egypt) is BZ$200 for a single-entry visa valid 6 months, or BZ$300 for a multiple-entry visa valid 12 months. Applications are made at a Belizean diplomatic or consular mission abroad; since there is no Belize embassy in Egypt, applicants typically apply through the nearest accredited Belize mission (for example in the region or via mail to a designated consulate). Belize has announced a forthcoming eVisa system, but as of mid-2026 it has not been launched and the eligible-country list has not been published, so the current channel remains a paper consular application. Processing commonly takes around 30 business days, so apply well in advance. A key exemption exists: holders of a valid multiple-entry US or Canada visa or Permanent Residence Card, or a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa, may enter visa-free for up to 30 days. Visitors are generally granted an initial 30-day stay, must hold a passport valid at least 30 days beyond departure, complete the online iDeclare form, and show proof of onward travel and sufficient funds. Belize is not in the Schengen area; Schengen and ETIAS rules do not apply.
