Travel between Belize and Israel is usually arranged around fixed dates and defined travel goals. Given the distance and reliance on connecting flights, most travelers confirm entry requirements early as part of organizing flights, accommodation, and onward plans.

How do visa requirements apply to Belizean citizens visiting Israel?

Belizean passport holders are not required to obtain a traditional embassy-issued visa. Instead, Israel requires travelers from Belize to hold an approved electronic travel authorization before travel begins.

This requirement applies to all short-term purposes covered by the ETA-IL framework, including tourism, family visits, business meetings, and transit. Travel involving paid employment, academic study, or long-term residence is not permitted under this system and requires a different visa type.

How long can an approved ETA-IL be used?

An approved ETA-IL remains valid for two years from the date of issuance. During this period, Belizean travelers may use the same authorization for multiple trips, provided it remains valid at the time of entry and is linked to the passport used for travel.

If passport details change for any reason, a new authorization must be obtained before the next trip.

Maximum stay permitted per visit

Each approved entry allows a stay of up to 90 days. This limit applies per visit and cannot be extended under the ETA-IL. Remaining in Israel beyond the permitted duration may affect future travel eligibility.

How do Belizean travelers submit the ETA-IL request?

All travelers need to do is load the form, which asks a series of questions related to personal information and travel details. Answers should be completed fully and accurately before submission.

Applicants are required to:

  • Enter passport and personal details exactly as shown on their passport
  • Indicate the purpose of travel
  • Confirm expected travel timing
  • Review all information for accuracy
  • Complete payment electronically

When should travelers expect a decision?

Processing times vary by case. In many standard situations, applications from Belize are reviewed within 24 to 72 hours. Submitting the request several days before departure helps reduce the risk of last-minute complications.

What information must Belizean applicants prepare?

Before starting the application, travelers from Belize should ensure they have:

  • A valid Belizean passport covering the full intended travel period
  • An active email address to receive updates and the final decision
  • A payment method accepted for online processing
  • Personal details that exactly match the passport

Applicants should also note:

  • Do not submit the request with an expired passport
  • Do not use an email address you cannot access regularly
  • Do not enter personal details that differ from those on the passport
  • Confirm passport validity before applying to avoid delays or review issues

Who can apply from Belize?

The ETA-IL is available to Belizean citizens planning short visits who do not intend to work, study, or relocate. Applications may undergo additional review if there is a history of prior immigration issues.
Belize is listed among the ETA-IL eligible countries, allowing applicants to complete the process without a consular appointment.

Important reminders for Belizean travelers

Belizean travelers should ensure that all information provided during the application matches the passport used for entry. The authorization cannot be updated after approval.

Travelers are advised to:

  • Carry the same passport used in the application
  • Ensure passport validity covers the intended travel period
  • Keep a copy of the authorization accessible during travel

Consistent documentation helps reduce issues during travel and arrival checks.
