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.
