e-Visa is available as an alternative for land borders and airports, with a free fee, but the standard visa-free policy requires airport entry/exit.

Common refusal reasons

Arriving via land border or Russian airport flight

Ensure you fly directly to a Belarusian international airport from a non-Russian destination.

Passport validity less than required

Check passport validity before travel and renew if necessary.
