This visa on arrival thing is not a piece of cake. Unfortunately, you have to do
something in advance
.
See the conditions of VOA:
Belarus (BY)
Visa Issuance:
- Visitors can obtain a visa on arrival at Minsk (MSQ) if
holding, depending on the type of visa:
- visa support documents, applied for in advance; or
- a services contract issued in accordance with the laws of
Belarus; or
- an original letter of invitation issued by a Belarusian
tourist company or medical/health organization which must:
- be written on official headed paper containing name,
passport details, purpose and duration of stay; and
- have original signature and official seal of the head of
the inviting organization. Fees: vary, according to
nationality, purpose of stay and country of residence and
payable only in EUR or USD.
All visa support documents must be submitted to the Consular
Division at Minsk (MSQ) in advance, at least 3 (for
short-term visas) or 5 working days (for long-term visas)
prior to arrival.
