Saudi Arabia to Belize visa requirements

Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Belize for tourism. Saudi Arabia is on Belize's "pre-arranged visa" list, so the visa must be obtained in advance from a Belize embassy/consulate (there is no Belize mission in Saudi Arabia, so a regional mission such as Washington, DC handles applications). Belize does not currently operate a tourist eVisa or visa-on-arrival channel for Saudi nationals. As of mid-2026, a Saudi Arabian ordinary passport holder must secure a Belize visitor (tourist) visa before travel. Belize grants visa-free entry to citizens of roughly 100+ countries (mainly the Commonwealth, EU, US and a handful of others), but Saudi Arabia is not among them; it falls in the group of nationalities that must apply for a pre-arranged visa at a Belizean consulate. Belize is in Central America, not the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. There is no general tourist eVisa or visa-on-arrival for Saudi nationals. The single-entry visitor visa costs BZD 200 (about USD 50 in consular fee terms) and is valid for 6 months from issue; a multiple-entry visa is BZD 300, valid 12 months. At the border, visitors are normally admitted for an initial stay of up to 30 days, extendable for a fee. Travelers must also show an onward/return ticket and proof of funds (USD 75/day). Because Saudi Arabia has no resident Belize mission, applicants generally apply through the nearest accredited Belize embassy (commonly the Embassy of Belize in Washington, DC) by mail or in person; processing takes roughly 30 business days, so apply well in advance. Sources consulted include the Belize Immigration Department fee schedule, the Embassy of Belize visa requirements page, the Wikipedia visa policy summary, and a Saudi-passport visa index, all of which classify Belize as visa-required for Saudi nationals.
