A Belarus or Russian residence permit or qualifying event document also has a separate document-conditioned no-visa route; e-visas cannot be used to enter Belarus from Russia.","Minsk airport can issue a visa only after advance visa-support processing (normally at least two business days), so it is not normalized as an unconditioned visa-on-arrival entitlement.","This policy establishes no work, study, residence, transit, diplomatic, service, special, emergency, refugee or other-document result.
