Spain to Belize visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Belize without a visa?

Up to 30 days per entry. To stay longer, apply for a monthly Visitor's Permit Extension at any Belize immigration office before your permit expires.

Q: What is the iDeclare form and is it mandatory?

iDeclare is Belize's Online Immigration and Customs Declaration System, mandatory for all arrivals since 1 January 2025. Complete it before arrival and present the QR-coded form at the border, even though you are visa-free.

Q: How much money do I need to show on entry?

Immigration may ask for proof of sufficient funds, generally about USD 75 per day of your intended stay, plus documentation for your onward destination.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Belize?

No. Belize is not in the Schengen area. The Schengen 90/180 short-stay rule and ETIAS authorization do not apply to entering Belize.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your passport should be valid for at least 30 days beyond your planned departure from Belize, though a 6-month validity buffer is recommended to avoid airline boarding issues.

Spanish ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Belize. As an EU citizen you may enter visa-free for stays of up to 30 days. You must complete the mandatory online iDeclare immigration and customs declaration before arrival. Belize grants visa-free entry to all European Union nationals, including Spanish ordinary passport holders, for tourism and short visits. The standard visa-free admission is 30 days, which can be extended monthly at a Belize immigration office for a fee if you wish to stay longer. There is no visa fee for the initial entry. Since the rollout of the Online Immigration and Customs Declaration System (iDeclare) at Philip Goldson International Airport on 1 December 2024 and extended to all ports of entry by 1 January 2025, every traveler (including visa-exempt nationals) must complete the digital iDeclare form before arrival and present the resulting QR code at the border. On arrival you should hold a passport valid for the duration of your stay (at least 30 days beyond departure recommended), proof of onward or return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds (about USD 75 per day). Belize is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Belize. Verified against the official Belize Department of Immigration website and the Belize iDeclare government portal as of 2026.
