Visitors from most countries, including the USA, Canada, the UK, and EU nations, do not need a visa for stays of up to 30 days. Upon arrival, you'll need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your departure date.

Light, breathable clothing, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy shoes for hiking, and waterproof gear are essentials. Don’t forget your snorkeling or diving gear if you have it!

Belize is generally safe for tourists, especially in popular destinations like Ambergris Caye, Placencia, and Caye Caulker. However, like any destination, visitors should practice common sense—avoid displaying valuables and stick to well-lit areas at night.

Domestic flights, water taxis, and car rentals are popular for exploring the country. In towns and villages, bicycles and golf carts are common modes of transport.

The dry season, from late November to May, is the best time for sunny weather and clear skies. June through October marks the rainy season, with September and October being the wettest months.

The official currency is the Belize Dollar (BZD), but US dollars are widely accepted. The exchange rate is typically 1 USD = 2 BZD.

English is the official language, making communication easy for English-speaking tourists. Many locals also speak Spanish, Creole, and indigenous languages.
