Overview

Belarus launched its e-visa route from March 20, 2025. The MFA says the e-visa is a single-entry individual visa for a period not exceeding 30 days, available to ordinary-passport holders of 67 countries for business trips, sporting, cultural, scientific and educational events and internships, private affairs, and tourism. E-visas are issued through the E-Pasluga service without applying to a diplomatic mission and without visa-support documents, but the Russia-Belarus technical caveat must be checked before travel.

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Confirm the passport nationality is on the MFA e-visa eligibility list and that the purpose fits the e-visa purpose list.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Create an E-Pasluga account and file service code 3.04.01, E-visa issuance.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Wait for the MFA-listed seven-calendar-day consideration period and keep a copy of the issued e-visa.

  4. After approval

    Enter through an international checkpoint allowed for e-visa travel and avoid Russia-Belarus movements unless the official technical caveat has been resolved.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For E-visa, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
