There’s a new online departure and arrival immigration and customs declaration system, designed for all travellers entering and leaving Belize. It has been available since December 1, 2024.
The platform allows travellers 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.
The system is available for travellers entering and exiting through the Philip Goldson International Airport. A three-month phased introduction will facilitate a smooth transition to a fully online process. During the test phase, both printed and digital forms will be accepted. The public is encouraged to utilise the digital option, and embrace the transition, as the system is fine-tuned to deliver an efficient and seamless experience. Travellers are invited to provide feedback to support on-going improvements. In the second phase, the system will be extended to all ports of entry.
This shift to a digital system underscores the Belize government’s commitment to modernising travel procedures and enhancing the overall traveller experience. The change is expected to significantly reduce — and eventually eliminate — the need for paper forms, ensuring faster and more convenient immigration and customs processing for all travellers.
