Exit formalities

- ATTENTION, just outside of Belize, we must pay an exit tax, which varies depending on the chosen path.

- It amounts to Bz $ 37.50, payable in Belize dollars or U.S., if you're on foot or by bus, or $ 30 Bz if you stayed less than 24 hours in Belize;

- To 36 USD if you are flying, payable only in U.S. dollars. However, it is in principle already included in the ticket price (except for American Airlines and TACA sometimes). Check with the airline at the airport or to avoid unpleasant surprises. Part of this tax is intended to fund preservation of national parks.

- By car: If you have rented in Belize, you can not cross the border. Check with your landlord.
