Belarus Introduces Visa-Free Travel for 35 European Countries

The President of the Republic of Belarus supported the proposal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other government agencies to establish a procedure for temporary visa-free entry, exit and stay in the Republic of Belarus through all road and railway checkpoints for citizens of an additional 35 European countries (list attached).
The regime will take effect on 19 July 2024, allowing citizens to stay in the country for up to 30 days from the date of entry.

Thus, as of Friday, citizens of all European countries for which Belarus applies a visa regime may enter and leave through all international land and air checkpoints on the State Border of the Republic of Belarus using valid documents, and stay in our country for no more than 30 days from the date of entry.

This visa-free entry and exit procedure will be in effect until 31 December 2024.

The existing visa-free entry regime through land checkpoints for citizens of Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and other countries also remains in force.

In addition, the previous visa-free regime for entry through air checkpoints remains in effect, providing visitors to the Republic of Belarus with additional logistical options against the backdrop of artificial obstacles and restrictions imposed by neighboring Western countries.
