  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
  • Mandatory travel/medical insurance covering the stay in Belarus, checked on arrival
  • No visa or biometrics required within the visa-free allowance
  • Entry under this visa-free regime is generally limited to arrivals via Minsk National Airport; other border crossings may not qualify

Visa types

  • No visa required for tourism, business, or private visits of up to 30 days when entering via Minsk National Airport
  • A standard visa is required for entry via other border crossings or for stays exceeding 30 days, applied for through a Belarusian consulate

Entry conditions

  • Maximum stay of 30 days per visit under the visa-free regime, with limits on total days per calendar year (commonly up to 90 days across multiple visits, subject to current rules)
  • Travel medical insurance is mandatory and checked at the border
  • Employment is not permitted under visa-free entry
  • Departure must also occur via Minsk National Airport in most cases under this regime

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the visa-free entry via Minsk National Airport
  • Travel insurance typically costs USD 10-20 for a short trip and can be purchased online in advance or at the airport
  • No VFS/BLS service required for the visa-free route
  • Entry processing at the airport is typically a few minutes with standard passport and insurance checks

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Book travel insurance before departure since it is checked at the border and required for entry
  • Confirm that both your arrival and departure are via Minsk National Airport, as the visa-free regime does not generally apply to other crossings
  • There is no Belarusian embassy in Hong Kong; use the Embassy in Beijing for consular matters
  • Belarus requires registration for stays beyond a few days - hotels usually handle this automatically
  • Check current travel advisories given the evolving regional security situation before finalising travel plans
