Mexico to Belize visa requirements

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

Up to 30 days per entry. You can extend in 30-day increments at an Immigration Department office for BZ$200 each, generally up to about six months total.

Q: Is there an entry fee when arriving in Belize?

No. The Visitor's Permit issued on arrival is free. Fees apply when departing: about BZ$40 at land borders, or an airport departure tax (usually included in the air ticket) when flying out.

Q: What documents do I need at the border?

A passport valid at least six months with two blank pages, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and ideally your accommodation details.

Q: Does Belize require ETIAS or fall under the Schengen 90/180 rule?

No. Belize is in Central America, not the Schengen area, so neither ETIAS nor the Schengen 90/180-day rule applies.

Q: Can I extend my stay if I want to remain longer than a month?

Yes. Before your 30-day permit expires, visit any Immigration Department office and pay BZ$200 for each additional 30-day extension.

No visa required. Mexican ordinary passport holders can enter Belize visa-free for tourism for up to 30 days, with a visitor's permit stamped on arrival. Mexico is on Belize's visa-exempt list. Holders of an ordinary Mexican passport do not need a visa for a short tourist visit and receive a free Visitor's Permit on arrival at the airport or land border, valid for up to 30 days. The passport should be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay and have at least two blank pages. Travelers must show proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds. The stay can be extended in 30-day increments at an Immigration Department office for BZ$200 per extension. While entry itself is free, travelers departing by land into Mexico pay a border exit fee of about BZ$40, and those flying out pay an airport departure tax (usually bundled into the air ticket). Belize is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
