Belarus has introduced the option for travelers to obtain a visa-on-arrival at the Minsk National Airport. This convenient service allows visitors to secure their visa directly at the airport, provided they follow the necessary procedures and timelines.
For short-term visas, travelers must submit their application no later than three business days before their expected arrival date. For those seeking long-term visas, the application must be submitted at least five business days prior to arrival. This ensures that the processing time is adequate for visa approval.
Applications must be submitted through the Foreign Admissions Division of the Consular Directorate of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus, located at the Minsk National Airport. The required documents can be sent by the inviting individual or company, either in person or by post, while accounting for delivery times.
The address for sending documents is as follows:
Foreign Admissions Division of the Consular Directorate
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus
National Airport Minsk, Minsk, 220054.
For any inquiries, applicants can contact the division at:
Phone: +375 17 279 20 58.
By following these steps, travelers can enjoy a smoother entry process upon arrival in Belarus.
