Visa-free Entry (30 days via Minsk Airport)

The 30-day visa-free entry program for arrivals via Minsk National Airport was established under Presidential Decree No. 8 to boost tourism and international business engagement. By allowing citizens from 76 designated countries to enter without a traditional visa, Belarus effectively removed a major barrier to short-term travel. This policy fills the gap for travelers seeking a streamlined experience for brief visits, provided they strictly adhere to the requirement of arriving and departing through international airports. It represents a strategic effort to modernize the country's border policy and increase its global openness.

This program is ideal for tourists, short-term business visitors, and those visiting friends or family who wish to experience Belarus without the administrative burden of a visa application. It is distinctive because it is exclusively available to air travelers, specifically those entering and exiting via designated international airports. To qualify, visitors must present a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds (55 base amounts for the full 30-day period), and mandatory health insurance. It is a popular choice for those who value convenience and rapid travel planning for short-term stays.
