The Belizean government actively promotes a visa waiver agreement with the EU and is hopeful that good news will be announced soon on this front.

The Belizean government is working hard to secure a visa-free travel agreement with member states in order to eliminate the need for its citizens to go through the visa application process when planning visits to the Schengen Area.

Belize’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eamon Courtenay, exudes optimism about the nation’s development and expresses the hope that Belize will soon be added to the list of nations whose citizens are not required to obtain a visa in order to enter the Schengen Area.

Minister Courtenay asks the Commission to take into account streamlining the procedure, claiming that Belize has already met all requirements.

Minister Courtenay also acknowledges that obtaining visa-free entry to the Schengen Area has taken longer than anticipated for Belizeans. He nevertheless emphasizes the need for patience, saying that the EU is anticipated to decide in due course.

Belize has previously argued in favor of easing the regulations for entering the Schengen Zone. Minister Courtenay emphasized the nation’s “very strong case” and emphasized the EU’s recognition of it in August.

The lengthy wait times Belizean citizens experience when applying for Schengen visas and the challenging visa application processes they must navigate are the reasons behind the call for Belize to be added to the list of nations whose citizens can enter the Schengen Area without a visa.

Belizean nationals must fulfill specific requirements and offer a variety of documents in order to be granted a Schengen visa. In order to do this, you must, among other things, submit a finished visa application form, a roundtrip flight itinerary, documentation of your hotel reservations, and proof of your travel insurance.
