Belize Tourist Visa
When I think of Belize, I think of pristine, turquoise waters and beautiful beaches of the Caribbean Sea. If you are reading this, most likely, you are planning a trip to Belize for tourist purposes. Foreign nationals of a lot of countries (including the United States) don’t even need to get a tourist visa before arriving.
I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Belize Tourist Visa.
