Last updated: September 2026. Fee data sourced from the E-Pasluga portal (e-pasluga.by) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus. Visa fees are subject to change by the Belarusian authorities; we recommend checking the E-Pasluga portal immediately before starting your application to confirm the current amounts.
The Belarus eVisa cost for UK citizens in 2026 is €66, comprising a €60 consular fee and a €6 service fee. This amount applies to all adult applicants from the United Kingdom and must be paid online via the E-Pasluga portal during the application submission.
Beyond the base visa fee, travellers should account for additional requirements such as mandatory medical insurance and potential foreign transaction surcharges from UK card issuers.
How Much Does a Belarus eVisa Cost for UK Citizens in 2026?
As of September 2026, the Belarus eVisa costs €60 consular fee + €6 service fee = €66 (approximately £57) for UK citizens. EU nationals pay €41 total (€35 + €6), while Japanese applicants pay only the €6 service fee. All fees are non-refundable and payable online by Visa or Mastercard only.
As the UK is not among the 25 EU/EEA countries eligible for the reduced €35 consular fee, UK citizens pay the standard €60 rate plus a universal €6 service fee.
| Fee Component | Amount (EUR) | Estimated Amount (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Consular fee (UK adults) | €60 | ~£52 |
| Service fee | €6 | ~£5 |
| Total | €66 | ~£57 |
Since the portal processes payments in EUR, UK-issued cards may incur a foreign transaction surcharge of 0-3% depending on your bank’s exchange rate and fees.
Full Fee-by-Nationality Breakdown and Exemptions
Applicants fall into three tiers: EU/EEA nationals pay €41 (€35+€6), others (UK, US) pay €66 (€60+€6), Japanese pay only €6. Minors meeting age thresholds are exempt from the consular fee.
| Nationality Group | Consular Fee | Service Fee | Total (EUR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 EU/EEA countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden) | €35 | €6 | €41 |

| Japan | €0 | €6 | €6 |
| Stateless persons residing in Estonia; non-citizens of Latvia | €35 | €6 | €41 |
Children under 12 from the 25 listed EU/EEA countries and children under 14 from other states, including the UK, pay only the €6 service fee. Japanese nationals of any age are fully exempt from the consular fee. All fees are payable per applicant, with no group or family batch payment option available on the E-Pasluga portal.
Accepted Payment Methods and Hidden Costs
The Belarus eVisa payment system accepts only Visa and Mastercard (debit or credit). Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Belkart, Mir, and bank transfers are not supported. Each applicant requires a separate individual transaction.
| Accepted | Not Accepted |
|---|---|
| Visa | Apple Pay |
| Mastercard | Google Pay |
| PayPal | |
| Belkart, Mir, bank transfer |
Applicants must also consider mandatory travel medical insurance with minimum coverage of €10,000, plus a potential foreign transaction surcharge of 0-3% for UK-issued cards paying in EUR. The eVisa must be printed and carried physically. Thus, the total trip preparation cost for UK travellers ranges from £70 to £110. Both the consular fee and the €6 service fee are non-refundable upon application rejection, as stated in the E-Pasluga portal terms.
eVisa vs Traditional Visa and Entry Rules
Both pathways charge the same consular fee (€35 EU, €60 others). The eVisa is submitted online via the E-Pasluga portal, while the traditional visa requires an in-person visit to a diplomatic mission or consular office. Standard eVisa processing takes 7 calendar days with no urgent option. A traditional visa offers urgent processing within 2 working days at double the fee. All previously introduced visa-free regimes are retained as an alternative for eligible nationalities.
- Accepted at all international checkpoints (road, rail, and air), including Vitebsk airport
- Single-entry visa only
- Valid for stays not exceeding 30 days
- Must be printed and carried physically when entering, leaving, and during the stay in Belarus
UK travellers planning combined trips should note that a Belarusian eVisa does not permit entry to the Russian Federation, and entry to Belarus from Russia on an eVisa is likewise not allowed.
