Belarus

According to the Presidential Decree effective 27 July 2018, Singaporeans may enter Belarus for up to 30 days without a visa, unless arriving by plane from the Russian Federation. In addition, to qualify for the visa-free regime, travellers will have to enter and exit through the border checkpoint at the Minsk National Airport, and have the following:

• A valid ordinary passport with at least six months validity on entry with one blank visa page;

• A medical insurance policy with coverage for at least 10,000 Euros, valid in Belarus for the entire duration of stay.

• Hold proof of sufficient funds for a minimum of 25 Euros per day of stay on entry;

• Hold proof of onward/return airline tickets;

• Hold all documents required for the next destination;

• Confirm with their airline that boarding will be permitted without a visa as these conditions are subject to change

Note: If staying with a hotel, hostel, sanatorium or other collective accommodation facility, this registration will be carried out by the administration of the respective facility by default upon check-in.
