Visa requirements for Belarusian citizens

Visa requirements for Belarusian citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed on citizens of Belarus by the authorities of other states.

Belarusian citizens in other countries can also benefit from the mobility rights arrangements within the Commonwealth of Independent States and the rules of the single market of the Eurasian Economic Union.

As of 2026, Belarusian citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 77 countries and territories, ranking the Belarusian passport 58th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.

History

Visa requirements for Belarusian citizens were lifted (unilaterally or bilaterally, for the first time or repeatedly (in which case, the date of the last cancellation of visas is given) by Cuba (10 March 1999), Turkey (29 April 2013), Serbia (10 August 2013), Brazil (25 November 2016), Argentina (19 May 2017), China (10 August 2018), Saint Kitts and Nevis (23 June 2019), Montenegro (5 August 2019), Albania (15 July 2020), United Arab Emirates (16 January 2021), Libya (26 May 2025) and Colombia (19 December 2025).

Territories and disputed areas

Visa requirements for Belarusian citizens for visits to various territories, disputed areas and restricted zones:

Economic integration and international treaties

Special travel conditions and exceptions to the usual rules, including special migration rules for Belarusian citizens, their family members and conditions for the provision of medical care are provided through international agreements and treaties to Belarusian citizens. The conditions for citizens in a specific country should be clarified in advance because not all countries are parties to all agreements.

Permission stamps

Until 1 January 2008, Belarusian citizens had to apply for permission stamps in their passports in order to cross Belarusian borders. Permission stamps were only issued if there were no specific legal restrictions for their travel.

In 2002, the Constitutional Court of Belarus stated in its decision that permission stamps were not constitutional. The Council of Ministers was ordered to propose a different kind of a citizen border control before 1 January 2006.

The decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus dated 17 December 2007 finally abolished permission stamps.
