No visa on arrival or eVisa — plan ahead
Jordanian passport holders cannot use Belarus's visa-on-arrival or eVisa programs. You must secure a visa from a Belarusian embassy or consulate before departure. Applying early is critical — processing can take weeks, and last-minute plans may fall through.
Visa is not extendable
Your Belarusian visa cannot be extended under any circumstances. Make sure your travel dates are firm and you leave before the visa expires to avoid fines or entry bans.
