Belize has announced the launch of a new online arrival and departure immigration and customs declaration system, designed for all travellers entering and leaving the country.
This platform allows visitors to complete and submit the required immigration and customs information in advance through a user-friendly web link, enhancing data accuracy and streamlining the travel experience.
Effective immediately, the system will be available for travellers entering and exiting through Philip Goldson International Airport. A three-month phased introduction will facilitate the transition to a fully online process.

During this test phase, both printed and digital forms will be accepted. The public is encouraged to utilize the digital option, and embrace the transition, as the system is designed to deliver an efficient and seamless experience. Travellers are invited to provide feedback to support ongoing improvements. In the second phase, the system will be extended to all ports of entry.
Belize says that as the peak tourism season approaches, the transition will significantly reduce -- and eventually eliminate -- the need for paper forms, ensuring faster and more convenient immigration and customs processing for all travellers.
Digital forms can be accessed and completed in advance of travel by clicking here.
Belize says it is more accessible than ever to Canadians, with seasonal direct airlift from Toronto and Calgary, and more connecting flights through the U.S.
