Summary

✅ Required for: All Canadian travelers flying into or out of Belize

🧒 Do children need it? Yes

📃 Documents needed to apply: None

📍 When to complete the form: Before arrival and again before departure

📱 What you get: QR code by email

🧾 How many times can I use my form: One trip (single entry)

Headed to Belize from Canada? Whether you're trading a parka for a pair of flip-flops or planning a jungle-to-beach getaway, there's one thing every traveler must check off before touching down: the Belize Travel Declaration.

In this guide, we’ll explain what the form is, how to get it quickly, and how to avoid airport delays with tips from fellow Canadians who’ve made the trip.

What is the Belize travel declaration?

The Belize Travel Declaration is a mandatory digital customs and immigration form required for entry and exit via Philip Goldson International Airport.

It’s not a visa. This form collects details like your flight, accommodations, and what you’re bringing with you. Once submitted, you’ll receive a QR code by email that you’ll show at immigration.

If you skip this step, you could be held back at customs while trying to complete the form on unstable Wi-Fi.

"I had no idea this form existed until we got stopped at the airport. No Wi-Fi, no help, and the kids were tired and cranky. It delayed everything. Lesson learned," said Liam W., a dad from Toronto.

Do Canadian citizens need a visa for Belize?

Not for short stays. Canadian citizens can enter Belize without a visa for up to 30 days.

But if you’re flying into or out of the country, you do need to complete the Belize Travel Declaration in advance.

Planning to stay longer?

  • Visit a local immigration office before your 30-day period ends
  • Pay USD 100 per person, per month for each extension
  • Depending on the officer, you might get up to 60 or 90 days

"We extended our stay at the San Pedro immigration office. The staff were friendly, but they only accept cash and it's best to go early. Took us under 30 minutes," shared Naomi R. from Montreal.

When should Canadians submit the form? ⏰

You need to complete the declaration before arrival and before departure. It's a single-use form.

Filling it out takes about 10 minutes and you won’t need to upload any documents.

"We did the forms the day before our flights. Printed our QR codes and breezed through customs. Others were fumbling with the Wi-Fi. No thanks," said Jayden T., a traveler from Vancouver.

Can Canadians bring pets to Belize? 🐶

Yes—but it's not easy. Bringing a dog for a short vacation involves paperwork, potential quarantine, and complicated re-entry rules, especially if your return flight includes the US.

"We seriously considered bringing our dog but decided against it. Returning to Canada would've been a logistical nightmare," admitted Priya M., a dog owner from Calgary.

If you're determined, speak with your vet and check with both Belizean and Canadian authorities well in advance. Otherwise, it’s best to leave furry friends at home.

What can Canadians bring into Belize? 🍁🎁

Avoid bringing:

  • Fresh meat, dairy, fruits, or vegetables
  • Opened or homemade foods
  • Wrapped gifts (customs may open them)

Usually allowed:

  • Electronics and personal items
  • Snacks like packaged bars or instant noodles
  • Up to 1 liter of duty-free alcohol per adult

"Customs opened our gift bags, which we expected. As long as you're honest and declare what you bring, it’s usually no problem," said Clara D. from Ottawa.

What do you need to apply?

To complete the form, you’ll need:

  • A Canadian mobile number or email address
  • Country of residence (Canada)
  • The last city you’re in before arriving in Belize
  • Accommodation details (hotel, Airbnb, etc.)
  • Preferred update method (SMS, WhatsApp, or email)
