How to Apply for a Belize Tourist Visa in Singapore

There’s something charming and exciting whenever we hear the word, “Caribbean”. Images of pristine, clear blue waters and a tropical paradise come to mind for most of us, but there’s certainly more to look forward to on this sunny patch of heaven on earth, and the great thing about it is that not many people actually know much about the great places you can visit in the Caribbean for a great vacation. And one of these places is beautiful Belize. In this post, we share some of the great things about Belize as a country, and what you need to do to apply for a Belize Tourist Visa from Singapore.

If visiting any of the Schengen countries in Europe or the USA doesn’t fall under the list of your priority vacation spots, then try somewhere more “chill” and less crowded for a change. Belize is a simple (meaning, not too commercialized) country situated just below Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Sure, it’s simple but what greets you on your first visit would be anything short of wonderful. Think: seaside condos, colonial mansions, jungle lodges, and Maya temples. Plus, the cost of living in Belize is relatively cheaper than anywhere in Europe or in the North America, so you can really maximize your experience as a tourist in Belize. Experience world-class scuba-diving with sharks and stingrays and a worry-free island lifestyle here in Belize.
