Visitors for purposes other than tourism, or who wish to stay longer than thirty (30) days, must obtain visas from the government of Belize.

Any U.S. citizen who wishes to travel to Belize for any purpose other than tourism or business negotiations (e.g. work, study, adoption, immigration, or stays longer than stipulated in the entry requirements) should contact the Consulate.
