Travel document

“Official Travel Document” issued by the General Secretariat shall be recognized by the Government as a valid and sufficient document for national and international travel of the staff members or other persons on official travel on behalf of the Office, the General Secretariat, or the Organisation within or outside of Belize. This document requires no visa for its holder to enter the country and remain there until the conclusion of his mission or service in the country. Family members of the holder of the “Official Travel Document” not included therein shall be given official visas in their national passport to permit them to enter the country and to remain therein. These visas shall be issued without delay, for no fixed time, and shall not require the presence of the family members in the diplomatic or consular mission of the country, or payment of any fee. The same provision shall apply to officers, personnel or contractors of the General Secretariat or of the Organisation, and to members of their families, who, because of the short duration of the official Diplomatic Privileges and Consular Conventions 63 mission, do not have the “Official Travel Document” and must enter the country with passports issued by their countries of origin. The Government shall take the appropriate measures for these cases.
