Indian travellers looking to explore a different side of Europe have a new reason to consider Belarus.
Belarus has added India to the list of countries whose citizens are eligible to apply for an electronic visa (e-visa), making the visa process more convenient for Indian travellers planning to visit the country.
The decision was approved by the Council of Ministers of Belarus on September 14, 2026, following an initiative by the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The move is aimed at simplifying entry procedures and strengthening travel and business connections between India and Belarus.
What Does the New Belarus E-Visa Mean for Indians?
With India now included in Belarus’s e-visa programme, eligible Indian passport holders can apply electronically for a visa before travelling.
Moving the application process online can reduce some of the administrative steps involved in planning a trip and make Belarus more accessible to Indian tourists and business travellers.
The Belarusian government has also highlighted the potential benefits for business visits, B2B meetings, investment discussions and trade-related travel between the two countries.
However, travellers should check the latest official visa conditions, permitted activities, documentation requirements and validity rules before making travel arrangements.
Why Consider Belarus for Your Next International Trip?
Belarus offers a different European travel experience, with a combination of historic cities, architecture, cultural attractions and natural landscapes.
Minsk – The Gateway to Belarus
The capital city, Minsk, is an important starting point for exploring Belarus. Visitors can experience its broad avenues, historic sites, museums, parks and modern city life.
History, Culture & Architecture
Belarus has a rich history shaped by different European influences. Historic castles, churches, museums and traditional cultural experiences provide plenty of opportunities for travellers interested in something beyond the usual European destinations.
Nature & Scenic Experiences
For travellers who enjoy nature, Belarus is known for its forests, parks, lakes and protected natural areas, offering a quieter alternative to Europe’s more heavily visited tourist destinations.
More Convenient Connectivity Could Be Coming
Alongside the e-visa announcement, Belarus has plans for direct air connectivity between Minsk and Mumbai and Minsk and Goa.
If these proposed routes become operational, they could make travel between India and Belarus more convenient and potentially create new opportunities for tourism and business travel. These flights are proposed plans and are not currently operational, so travellers should verify the latest airline schedules before planning a trip around them.
