Nepali passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Belarus. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Nepali citizens, so you'll need to apply through a Belarusian embassy or consulate. Start the process well in advance, as it involves document preparation and processing time.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Belarus visaYou cannot get a visa on arrival or online — you must visit a Belarusian embassy or consulate in advance. Embassy/consulate application required | Nepal passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Belarus.

| Passport validityCheck your passport's expiry date — if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before applying for a visa. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of entry into Belarus. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe blank page must be free of any markings or stamps. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the visa and entry/exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketBorder officials want proof you'll leave Belarus before your visa expires. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a confirmed return or onward ticket when applying for the visa or upon arrival. | Required |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof of funds helps demonstrate you can support yourself during your visit. Sufficient financial means | You may need to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Belarus, such as bank statements or cash. | Recommended |

No eVisa — apply at an embassy
Nepali citizens are not eligible for Belarus's eVisa program. Any website offering an eVisa for Nepali passport holders is a scam. Only apply through an official Belarusian embassy or consulate.
Visa extension not possible
Your Belarus visa cannot be extended. Plan your stay carefully and leave before the visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban from entering Belarus in the future.
Registration after 5 days
If you stay in Belarus for more than 5 days, you must register with the local migration authorities. Hotels usually do this automatically, but if you're staying in private accommodation, you must handle it yourself. Keep the registration slip for departure.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Belarusian embassy or consulate
Find the Belarusian embassy or consulate that handles visa applications for Nepali citizens. This is likely in New Delhi, India, or another regional office. Call or email them to confirm the exact requirements and whether you need to apply in person or can mail your documents.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, flight itinerary, hotel booking, insurance, bank statements. Make photocopies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least one blank page and is valid for 6 months beyond your return date.
3
Submit your application
Submit your application and pay the fee. If applying in person, bring all originals and copies. If mailing, use a tracked courier service. Keep a copy of your application and any receipt.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from 5 to 15 working days, sometimes longer. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand. Check with the embassy for current processing times.
5
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, collect your passport or have it mailed back. Check the visa sticker for correct dates and details. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
6
Travel to Belarus
At the border, present your passport with the visa. Have your insurance and proof of funds ready in case they ask. Arrive at Minsk National Airport or any other entry point with your documents in order.
