On March 20th 2025 the Republic of Belarus officially launched an eVisa scheme. The new eVisa process allows travellers from 67 countries to apply online for a single entry visa valid for up to 30 days. Belarus has been making significant efforts to boost tourism, particularly among its European neighbours.
The new eVisa system doesn’t affect nationalities entitled for visa free travel to Belarus by land border, which still get visa-free passage.
What is the Belarus eVisa?
The Belarus eVisa system offers a streamlined process that significantly simplifies the visa application procedure. By completing the application through an online portal, applicants can avoid the need for embassy or consulate visits, which saves both time and money.
The standard processing time is up to 7 days, although applications can often be processed sooner. This convenience makes it an attractive option for travellers looking to join our tours to Belarus.
