Belize

Belize does not operate a public sex offender registry comparable to the United States. Belize's Immigration Act lists as prohibited immigrants anyone who, without a free pardon, has been convicted in any country of an offence for which a prison sentence was passed and whom the Minister deems an undesirable immigrant.
