Travelers to and from Belize can look forward to a faster and more convenient travel experience as the Department of Border Management and Immigration Services, in collaboration with the Customs and Excise Department, announces the launch of a new digital immigration and customs declaration system.
Starting December 1, 2024, this user-friendly online platform will enable travelers passing through the Philip Goldson International Airport to complete their immigration and customs forms digitally before arrival or departure. This marks the first step in a phased three-month rollout that aims to modernize and streamline the travel process, ensuring a smoother experience for visitors and residents alike.
How the Digital System Works
The digital system allows travelers to fill out and submit required forms online via a dedicated web link. By transitioning to digital entry, Belize aims to enhance data accuracy while reducing paperwork and processing times. During the initial trial phase, both digital and paper forms will be accepted, giving travelers the flexibility to adapt to the new system while providing valuable feedback to improve its functionality.
The system’s second phase will expand digital services to all ports of entry, reflecting Belize’s broader commitment to e-governance and technological advancement. Travelers can access the digital forms in advance through this link: https://belizetravel.immigration.gov.bz/Belize_Digital_Forms/.
Enhancing the Travel Experience
The introduction of this platform is expected to significantly improve the overall travel experience, especially during the busy peak tourism season. By eliminating the need for paper forms, the system will expedite processing times and contribute to a more sustainable, environmentally friendly approach to travel.
As part of Belize’s ongoing efforts to modernize its services, this initiative showcases the government’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability, making Belize an even more appealing destination for global travelers.
A Seamless Transition for Travelers
The initial phase, which runs through February 2025, provides travelers with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the digital process while ensuring a seamless transition. The Ministry of Immigration encourages travelers to embrace the new system and share their feedback to support continuous improvements.
With this cutting-edge system, Belize is poised to enhance its reputation as a top travel destination by offering a more convenient and efficient way to handle immigration and customs procedures.
