Belizean citizens are not visa-free for Vietnam. Here is exactly how to get your Vietnam eVisa — including requirements, costs, and tips specific to travelers from Belize.
Do Belizean Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Citizens of Belize are not included in Vietnam's visa-free entry program. All Belizean passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Vietnam.
Belizean citizens are eligible for the Vietnam eVisa. The application can be submitted online, with processing typically requiring 3 to 5 working days.
Belizean citizens cannot enter Vietnam without a valid visa. It is recommended to apply for an eVisa at least 1-2 weeks before the intended departure date.
Visa Options for Belizean Travelers
Belizean citizens have two main options for obtaining a Vietnam eVisa, depending on travel plans:
| Option | Cost | Processing | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| eVisa (Single Entry) | $25 USD (~50 BZD) | 3-5 working days | Most tourists |
| eVisa (Multiple Entry) | $50 USD (~100 BZD) | 3-5 working days | Multi-country SE Asia trips |
There is currently no Vietnamese Embassy in Belize. Therefore, applying for the eVisa online is the only recommended and practical way to secure your entry.
Belizean Citizen eVisa Requirements
To apply for a Vietnam eVisa as a Belizean citizen, you need:
- Belizean passport valid for at least 6 months from your entry date, with ≥ 2 blank pages

- Select 'Belize' as your nationality.

Flights and Entry Points for Belizean Travelers
There are no direct flights from Belize to Vietnam. Travelers typically depart from Belize City (BZE) and transit through major hubs in the United States (such as Miami or JFK). Subsequent connections are usually made via Asian hubs (such as Tokyo, Seoul, or Taipei) before arriving in Vietnam.
Primary entry points for air travel include:
- Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) — Ho Chi Minh City.
- Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) — Hanoi.
- Da Nang International Airport (DAD) — Da Nang.
Make sure to double-check transit visa requirements if your flight connects through the United States.
Important Tips for Belizean Travelers
Specific advice for Belizean citizens visiting Vietnam:
- Apply for your eVisa at least 2 weeks before departure to allow for potential delays.
- Print two copies of your eVisa — one for immigration, one as backup.
- The Belize Dollar (BZD) is pegged to the USD at 2 BZD = 1 USD. Bring USD cash for major expenses, but convert some to Vietnamese Dong (VND) for daily spending.
- Belizean citizens can stay up to 90 days on an eVisa — no extension is possible within Vietnam.
- Consider travel insurance, as medical care abroad can be expensive.
