Finland to Belize visa requirements

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

Up to 30 days from the date of entry. You can extend at a local immigration office for BZ$200 per additional month.

Q: What passport validity do I need?

Your passport should be valid for at least 30 days beyond your arrival date; six months is recommended, especially if transiting another country.

Q: Is there a fee to enter Belize as a tourist?

No. The 30-day visitor's permit is issued free of charge. A departure tax (about US$73.50 by air or BZ$40 by land) applies when you leave.

Q: Do I need to show proof of funds or a return ticket?

Yes. Belize immigration can require evidence of sufficient funds (around US$75 per day) and a return or onward ticket.

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

No. Belize is not in the Schengen area, so neither the Schengen short-stay rule nor ETIAS applies to this route.

No visa required. Finnish citizens can enter Belize visa-free for tourism for up to 30 days. Finland (FI) ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Belize. As EU citizens, Finns are on Belize's visa-exempt list and receive a visitor's permit (tourist stamp) on arrival valid for up to 30 days. This is confirmed by the Belize Immigration Department and the official Belize tourism board. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least 30 days beyond arrival, a return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds (commonly cited at around US$75 per day). Stays beyond 30 days require a Visitor's Permit Extension obtained from a local immigration office at BZ$200 per month. A departure tax/fee applies on exit (around US$73.50 by air, BZ$40 by land). Belize is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route.
