Visa-free entry confirmed
Myanmar passport holders can enter Belarus without a visa for up to 30 days. No eVisa or embassy application needed — just show your passport at the border.
30-day limit is strict
Overstaying even one day can result in fines, detention, or a ban from future entry. Set a reminder to leave before your 30 days are up — the stay is not extendable.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Airlines check this at check-in, and border officers enforce it. Double-check your passport's expiry before booking flights.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport's validity (6 months) and blank pages (at least 1). Print or save your return ticket and hotel booking on your phone. If you're staying with friends, write down their address and phone number.
2
Check in and board your flight
At check-in, the airline will verify your visa-free eligibility. Show your passport and onward ticket. They may ask about your return plans — be ready to answer clearly.
3
Arrive at a Belarusian airport
You'll land at Minsk National Airport (MSQ) or another international airport. Follow signs to 'Passport Control' or 'Border Control'. Have your passport and any supporting documents in hand.
4
Pass through border control
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask simple questions: purpose of visit, where you're staying, how long you plan to stay. Answer honestly and confidently. You'll receive an entry stamp — check that it shows the correct date and 30-day limit.
5
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're now in Belarus — enjoy your trip!
