Thailand to Belize visa requirements

Thailand ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Belize. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa; you must obtain a sticker visa in advance from a Belizean diplomatic/consular mission. The single-entry tourist visa fee for Thai nationals is BZD 750 (about USD 375), and it permits a maximum stay of 30 days. Belize maintains a list of visa-exempt nationalities (the Americas, EU, UK, Japan, Australia, most Commonwealth/Caribbean states, etc.), but Thailand is explicitly named among the nationalities that require a visa to enter. Belize does not operate a visa-on-arrival scheme for Thai citizens and has no traditional eVisa program; the only online system is the mandatory digital arrival/departure (embarkation/disembarkation) declaration card launched in December 2024, which is separate from the visa itself. Thai travelers must apply in person at the nearest Belizean embassy, high commission, or consulate before travel. Belize sets a higher fee tier for Thailand (grouped with India, Nepal, Burma, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka): BZD 750 for a 6-month-validity single-entry visa or BZD 1,000 for a 12-month multiple-entry visa. The Belize dollar is pegged at 2 BZD = 1 USD, so these are roughly USD 375 and USD 500. A visa permits a stay of up to 30 days from entry; extensions are obtained from a local Immigration Office. Note: a notable exemption applies. Holders of a valid US visa or US Permanent Resident (Green Card) status do not need to pay/obtain a Belize visa under the standard rule, which can be a practical alternative route for many Thai travelers. Visitors must also hold a passport valid 6+ months, an onward/return ticket within 30 days, and proof of sufficient funds (about USD 75/day). Sources confirm this verdict via the official Belize Immigration site as of mid-2026.
