Apply for your Belarus visa with expert support

A tourist visa can be used to visit Belarus for tourist or leisure purposes for up to 30 days. This visa is valid for travel to Belarus only during the dates stated on a tourist voucher supplied by a hotel that has been approved by the Belarus Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

If Real Russia is managing the accommodation we will provide the official vouchers required. If you are organising your own accommodation, then you will need to provide them with your application. Please note that as of November 2012 it is impossible to obtain a Belarussian visa without an existing booking of an approved hotel. Please contact us for more information on this. To book an approved hotel, you may also select and book one online at the following link: Hotel Bookings 

A transit visa is a specific type of visa for people who are travelling or transiting through Belarus to a third country. For example this could include going to Russia from Poland via Belarus by train, or flying from the UK into Minsk, stopping a night and then continuing onto the Ukraine by air.

However, you may not use a transit visa if you are returning to the country that you entered Belarus from. So for example flying from the UK to Minsk and then flying directly back to the UK is not an option.

The transit visa is valid for two days during which the transit through Belarus should occur. This is usually sufficient time to travel through the country by train, a journey that usually takes between 12 and 18 hours. However, if you have any doubts that this will not give you enough time, please get in touch with us.
