Frequently asked questions
Why are some visas cheaper when you wait longer?
A shorter processing time means an express fee at the consulate. A visa costs €80 in 5 working days but €120 in 2. It pays to plan ahead.
Can a Belarusian visa be moved to a new passport?
No. Belarusian visas cannot be transferred – if you change passports you will need a new visa.
How much is a visa for a child?
Private visas for children under 12 cost €40 on the 5-working-day option. Children under 16 also need an original birth certificate and copies of both parents' passports.
How long must my passport be valid?
At least 3 months beyond the visa expiry date – less than for China or Russia, which require 6 months. You also need at least two blank pages.
