Entry rules for Costa Rica passport holders
Holders of a valid passport from Costa Rica can travel to Belize for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 30 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.
The 30-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Belize, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Belize immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
