Republic of Belarus
Belarus publishes its entry-visa, e-visa, visa-free travel, transit, arrival-visa and foreigner-registration guidance through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The source-backed packet covers e-visa, visa-free entry, transit, tourist, business, private-purpose, study, employment and permanent-residence entry-visa routes, with clear caveats for Russia-Belarus technical restrictions and post-arrival registration or residence steps. Confirm current MFA, Border Committee and Citizenship and Migration Department instructions before paying or travelling because the visa framework changed materially in 2024 and 2025.
