Aevamo’s reading
The Immigration Regulations, regulation 14(1), imposes the obligation: 'Every person entering Belize as a visitor is required to have visas issued by a diplomatic or consular officer of Belize … except—' followed by the exempt classes. The same consolidation holds every Immigration (Visa Exemption) Regulation and Visa Relaxation Declaration Order made under section 8(3)(b) of the Immigration Act that names the exempt countries and their stay periods. This document creates the requirement and grants the exemptions; the department's table only reports the resulting position.
The Immigration Department's current table lists each of these nationalities as requiring a visa (YES); none is within an excepted class under regulation 14(1) of the Immigration Regulations (the controlling instrument named in controllingDocument), so each must arrange a visa in advance.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
