Overview

Visa for implementing humanitarian programs including delivery of foreign aid, children's health recovery programs, and volunteer work in Belarus.

The Humanitarian Visa (Type C) is established under the same legal framework as other Type C visas, specifically the Law 'On Legal Status of Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons' and the Council of Ministers' visa regulations. It serves a vital role in facilitating international cooperation by providing a streamlined, often fee-exempt entry pathway for individuals involved in charitable work, foreign aid delivery, and social welfare programs within Belarus.

This visa is intended for volunteers, aid workers, and representatives of international organizations involved in humanitarian projects, including children's health and recuperation programs. It is distinctive because it requires specific approval from the Humanitarian Activities Department of the Presidential Administration or another authorized government body, ensuring that all humanitarian efforts are officially sanctioned and aligned with national social priorities.
