So my friend just invited me to travel with her to Belize. I contacted travelbelize.org and they tell me there are not aware of any repatriation fees that need to paid upon arrival. But I see all these posts on Wikipedia and Quora that there's a $600 repatriation fee that every Indian needs to pay on entry. The Belize embassies won't answer unfortunately. Any Indian here with a US visa who traveled to Belize this year or maybe 2016? I feel like I can only rely on first hand experience.

You asked for any first hand experiences only, mine is not. Timatic is much more accurate than what my experiences would've been.
