Do I need a Student Visa for Belarus?

Belarus has different types of visas, including special students visas which depend on your country of origin. For information, visit the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus or the consulate of the Republic of Belarus in your home country.

If your country does not have a diplomatic mission or consulate of the Republic of Belarus, you can obtain a visa upon arrival at Minsk National Airport (at the Division for the Admission of Foreigners of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

All foreign citizens, including students, traveling to Belarus must obtain a visa. For a student visa, applicants must submit their passport with at least six months validity past the intended travel date, the completed visa application form, two 2" by 2" color photographs with a plain white background, a statement of medical fitness, the $60 visa fee and a letter of invitation on official letterhead from the school you will be attending. Visas are issued by embassies and consulates around the world. Most universities will assist students in obtaining the necessary visa.

The visa is issued for 90 days. Open arrival in Belarus, the individual universities will assist students in obtaining a temporary residency permit. This permit is valid for one year. An HIV/AIDS test, performed by a Belarusian clinic, is required for a residency permit.
