Hi聽 we r thinking of retiring in about3 yrs after military life and have a 6 yr old cat now聽 Is there a quarantine time when cat arrives in Belize on plane with us?

Hi Ncartwrite.
I just brought my dog into Belize a couple weeks ago and there was no quarantine for our dog. In fact I don't think they even looked her over. From what I've gathered, they don't typically quarantine pets unless they are coming from certain countries in South America that higher frequencies of diseases in pets.

Below is a link to BAHA which outlines their requirements. I found that the team was very responsive when I submitted my application and in answering questions. They approved my application within 5 business days. You should confirm with the BAHA representative your arrival information 2 days prior to your arrival. Once I arrived in Belize and cleared the first line of customs I then rolled my dog (in her crate) to the next inspection line. This was the line on the furthest left assuming you are coming into the international airport. The BAHA inspector then had me sit in their office while he reviewed my vet certificate. I brought copies of the application, vet certificate and additional details on her vaccinations. After a nice chat with the BAHA representative about places in the country that he's worked and a solid recommendation on a great Laminai tour operator, he collected my $25 USD for the application fee and an additional $10 in misc. fees. Customs didn't charge me any additional fees which he said was quite unusual so I must of caught them on a good day.聽 聽 聽Also, note that the representative at the airport told me that they have a "Pet Passport" that is good for 1 year that costs $50 USD. So if you plan on bringing your pet into the country more frequently or perhaps taking a quick trip to Mexico with your cat it can greatly reduce the fees and paperwork since you won't need to go through the application process for each trip.

You've probably already researched but check the requirements of your airline. I found that I had more hoops to jump through for the airline than I did with BAHA. But I also had a dog that had to go as a checked bag.
