Philippines to Belize visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Belize for tourism. There is no eVisa or visa-on-arrival; you must apply in advance at a Belize embassy or consulate. Note: if you already hold a valid US visa or US Permanent Resident (Green) Card, you are exempt and do not need a Belize visa. As of 2026, Belize requires Philippine ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa before travel for tourism. The Belize Ministry of Immigration's official "Visa Who Qualify" table explicitly lists the Philippines as "Visa Required: YES." Belize does not operate an eVisa, ETA, or visa-on-arrival system for Filipinos, so the visa must be obtained from a Belize embassy, consulate, or honorary consulate ahead of travel (a Consulate General of Belize operates in Cebu City, Philippines; applications can also be lodged through Belize missions abroad such as the Embassy in Washington, D.C.). The standard single-entry visitor visa fee for Philippine nationals is BZD 200 (the "all other nationalities" rate), with BZD 300 for multiple entry; consulates may add service/shipping charges. Applicants must show a passport valid at least six months, a confirmed round-trip/onward ticket departing within 30 days, proof of sufficient funds (about USD 75/day), and supporting financial/employment documents. An important exemption applies: travelers who hold a valid US visa or a US Permanent Resident (Green) Card do not require a Belize visa. Tourist entry is normally granted for an initial period of up to 30 days, extendable in-country at an immigration office. Belize is in Central America and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
