Attorney General's Ministry of Belize

Maintains the text in force

Belize's law portal, carrying the Substantive Laws in their revised edition, the Subsidiary Laws volume for each Chapter, and Acts and Statutory Instruments by year.

Maintains the current text of the law as amended, so you can read a provision as it stands today rather than reconstructing it from amendments.

Cannot be cited for

A Chapter alone must never be cited for what the law is now. Every Chapter is a revised edition frozen at 31 December 2020 and nothing on the page says so: the retirement Chapter still prints an age that an Act of 2023 lowered, and the free-movement Chapter still lists states an Act of 2026 removed. The law is the Chapter plus every amending Act since. It also publishes nothing about commencement, and many Acts carry no commencement section, so a gazette date is not an entry-into-force date. A batch posting date is not a gazette date either. Its listing is served by a POST endpoint and the filenames carry hash prefixes, so a URL cannot be guessed from a chapter number.

Publication rhythm

The revised edition is republished only when a revision happens; the last was 2020. Acts and instruments appear in irregular batches months behind gazetting.

Re-check triggers

a new revised edition is announced · an Act amending the Immigration, Nationality, retirement, tax or free-movement Chapters · an Order adding a state to the free-movement schedule · a new visa exemption instrument
