## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Named ordinary passports: airport-route visa-free entry up to 30 days** (Visa-free)
  The MFA's current 76-country airport programme provides a route-limited, ordinary-passport visa-free visitor option for this non-overlapping subset; it is not a general land-border waiver.
  - Entry and exit are only through Minsk National Airport, Airport Brest, Airport Gomel, Airport Grodno, Airport Mogilev or Airport Vitebsk. Arrival from, or planned flight to, Russia is excluded.
  - Stay is at most 30 calendar days and cannot be extended. The traveller needs an ordinary passport valid 90 days after departure, funds and Belarus-valid EUR 10,000 medical insurance.
  - For the airport programme, Egypt, Gambia, Haiti, India, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Namibia, Pakistan, Samoa, South Africa and Vietnam require a used multiple-entry EU/Schengen visa and an air ticket confirming departure from one of the stated Belarus airports within 30 days. Vietnam's separate bilateral waiver is prioritized in the preceding policy.
  - Diplomatic, service, special and equivalent passports are excluded. Registration and final border-admission checks continue to apply.
