Belize travel guide for Canadians

Canadian passport holders do not need a visa for tourism or business visits of up to 30 days. Arrive with a passport that remains valid for at least six months beyond the intended departure date. Confirm current rules with the Belize Immigration Department before booking.

If you plan to stay longer than 30 days, obtain a visa from a Belizean diplomatic mission before travel. Extensions can be applied for at the immigration office in Belize.

Belize does not host a resident Canadian embassy. Consular assistance is provided by the Canadian High Commission in Mexico City.

A 10‑day mid‑range itinerary typically costs between CAD 2,500 and CAD 3,500 per person, including flights, accommodation, meals, transport and entry fees.

Direct flights from Toronto to Belize City (Philip S. W. Goldson Intl) take about 5 hours 30 minutes. Most itineraries include one stop in the US or Caribbean, extending total travel time to 7‑9 hours.
