Belize has made the decision to stop requiring travelers to download and complete its Belize Travel Health App prior to arrival in Belize, the government said. 

Belize is still requiring travelers to provide either proof of full vaccination; or a negative PCR test taken within 96 hours fo arrival; or a negative antigen test taken within 48 hours of travel. 

Belize considers travelers fully vaccinated if it has been more than two weeks since the final dose of their vaccine schedule. 

All travelers to the country must book a “Gold Standard” hotel and present confirmation of their booking when they arrive at immigration.
