Official Information

Overview

Entry visa for foreign nationals with employment contracts in Belarus, issued as short-term (Type C up to 90 days) or long-term (Type D up to 5 years).

The Employment Visa (Type C/D) is a specialized visa category for foreign nationals who have secured a job offer and an employment contract with a company or organization based in Belarus. This visa is essential for legal work and residency in the country. The process typically requires the employer in Belarus to obtain a work permit on behalf of the foreign employee from the local citizenship and migration authorities. Once the work permit is approved, the foreign national can apply for the employment visa to enter the country and begin their professional duties.

This visa is intended for skilled professionals, workers, and specialists who have been hired by a Belarusian entity. It is distinct from short-term business visas as it authorizes the holder to work and reside in Belarus for the duration of their employment contract. Applicants must provide a copy of their employment contract, proof of their qualifications, and other supporting documents as required by the Belarusian authorities. Upon arrival, the visa holder is usually required to register with the local migration office to obtain a temporary residence permit, ensuring their stay and work are fully compliant with Belarusian law.
