Belarus Visa FAQs

When is the best time to apply for my Belarus visa?
The best time to apply for your Belarus visa is 1-2 months before your travel date.

Do I have to send you my passport to get a Belarus visa? Is it safe to send a passport?
Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Belarus visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport, we strongly suggest that you send your application in a secure way, using a traceable courier such as FedEx.
