Here are the most important rules to know for flying a drone in Belize:

Belize has strict regulations regarding the use of drones. Currently, only commercial users are permitted to bring an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) into Belize if they have been contractually obliged by a Belize-based company or organization.

Unfortunately, using a camera drone to capture vacation memories in Belize is not currently possible. However, after a change in the law, it should be possible to introduce a drone into Belize for private purposes in the future.

Drone operations are generally not permitted within Belize without prior approval from the BDCA.
