Pre Arrival

Belize Travel Health Insurance is mandatory and required for entry into Belize. The cost is $18 USD per traveler (adults, infants and children).

We strongly encourage purchasing before travel to avoid any delays upon arrival at BZE International airport processing where the insurance can also be purchased on-site.
