Belarus eVisa for Indians: Eligibility and Requirements
The Belarus eVisa for Indians requires an ordinary passport valid at least 90 days beyond the intended stay, medical insurance with minimum €10,000 coverage, and a Visa or Mastercard for payment. Make sure to check the complete Belarus eVisa requirements and document checklist before applying.
Visa-Free Entry vs eVisa for Indians
Indian citizens holding a used multiple-entry EU or Schengen visa may enter Belarus visa-free for up to 30 days via Minsk National Airport only. Flights from or to Russia disqualify this option. All other Indian nationals must apply for the Belarus eVisa for Indians, which permits entry through all international checkpoints. For a detailed comparison, see our guide on Belarus eVisa vs visa-free entry.
| Condition | Visa-Free | Belarus eVisa for Indians |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility | Used multiple-entry EU/Schengen visa | All Indian passport holders |
| Entry points | Minsk National Airport only | 6 airports + all land/rail checkpoints |
| Fee | €0 | €66 |
| Stay | 30 days | 30 days, single-entry |
| Processing | None | 7 calendar days |

Decision flowchart:
- Do you hold a used multiple-entry EU/Schengen visa with a prior entry stamp?
- If YES and flying directly to Minsk National Airport (not from/to Russia) → visa-free entry for 30 days.
