Do you need a return ticket to get a visa for Guatamala or Belize?


Travel Info
Hi There,

Im planning on travelling through Mexico, Guatamala & Belize in December.

Im going to fly into Guat. City and then travel overland back to Mexico City (via Belize) to fly home. I understand however that I might need a return ticket to be allowed into Guatamala & Belize though. Will they accept the fact that I have a ticket departing Mexico as evidence that I dont intend to stay forever? Or will it be a problem at all?

How do most airlines handle this issue? Will they let me on board without a return ticket?

Many Thanks!

Travel Tips
My wife and I moved to Belize about a year ago. We found out if you arrive in Belize on bus (ground transportation) then you do not need to return ticket to enter the country. We put it to the test and it worked beautifully. We were about to enter the country and did not need a return ticket. However, if you eventually decide to fly into Belize then you will need a return ticket. Also, as part of the process of moving to Belize, we entered Mexico by plane without a return ticket so I guess it is not required for Mexico.

I do not know the details about Guatemala.

Take care and have a great trip.
