First signed in New York on September 23, 2021, the agreement between the governments of Russia and Belize on the abolition of visas for mutual trips of citizens of the two countries is now in effect. The agreement came into force on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, as reported by Russian news agency TASS. Now, Russian and Belizean citizens that are holders of valid passports can enter, leave, transit, and stay on the territory of the state of the other party without visas for up to 90 days. Counting from the date of first entry, the agreement outlines time periods of 180 days at a time. For stays of more than 90 days, including those wishing to reside, work, or undergo training, will require a visa.

The year 2021 marked the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Belize. Russia’s Ambassador to Mexico is a concurrent Ambassador to Belize. In 2020, the Ambassador of Belize to Russia (with a residence in Brussels) was accredited, for the first time in the history of bilateral relations. Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed the intention to spread agreements on the abolition of visas on the entire region of Latin America and the Caribbean.
