AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Travel Passport question

Planning for my umpteenth trip arriving August 7 (for only a week this time); however, just noticed my passport expires Feb. 14, 2012. That is exactly 6 months which is what Belize says it should be. Anyone think that will be a problem? I definitely don't want to be denied entry but am extremely reluctant to renew at this date even with expedited processing (which they say takes 2-3 weeks). Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd go for it.......

KLC will also get you arrested. Renew it to avoid any problems.

doubtful....

In Nov of 2009, I traveled to Belize and my passport at the time had an expiration date of March of 2010 (5 months).

I had no problems.

Just like one way tickets into Belize, it will be the airlines to give you a hassle if anyone not Belize Immigration.

My passport expired while in Belize.
Not a problem at all, there is a US embassy here who will give you a new one, that's their job.

That's fine but if you tried to board a plane it would be a whole different ball game.

Anyone with common sense gets their passport renewed a month or so in advance of any trips.
There is an expediting fee you can pay for fast service here or the US, depending on your personal whereabouts.
They fully understand that you need the ability to move around without waiting on them.

I've also seen a person denied boarding a plane because his passport had water damage. A group of guys headed to Belize for fishing and one did not get on the plane. It was ugly.
