— Attention!

The officer of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs marks with a stamp the copy of visa support document. The stamp is a confirmation of the receipt of visa support documents. The Stamp of the Consular Department on the visa support document is a mandatory requirement of air carriers for the check-in procedure of foreign citizens without valid entry visas of the Republic of Belarus. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to send the copy of visa support document with the stamp of the Consular Department to the invited foreign citizens (by e-mail, fax, etc.) for its submission to the representative of air carrier at the check-in procedure. In case of a relative’s death or critical illness, visa support documents may be submitted by the applicant on arrival. Short-term student visas and group visas may be obtained on arrival only in the presence of a representative of the institution that has issued an invitation. Foreign citizens arriving on flights from the Russian Federation will not be able to apply for visas at the DAF. Therefore, they must obtain visas at one of the Embassies or Consulates of the Republic of Belarus prior to their arrival.
