Type B — Transit Visa (Type B) (Транзитная виза)

The Transit Visa (Type B) is designed for foreign nationals who need to pass through the territory of the Republic of Belarus to reach a third country. This visa is typically issued for a period of up to one year, but it restricts the holder's stay in Belarus to a maximum of 48 hours per entry. It is a crucial document for travelers whose travel routes necessitate a land-based crossing through Belarus, such as those traveling by train or road between neighboring countries. Applicants must provide evidence of their travel plans, such as a valid visa for their final destination or travel tickets confirming their transit itinerary.

This visa is intended for travelers in transit who do not plan to stay in Belarus beyond the allowed 48-hour window. It is not suitable for tourism, business meetings, or any other purpose of stay. To obtain this visa, applicants must submit a standard visa application form, a valid passport with sufficient blank pages, proof of medical insurance, and documentation confirming their transit through the country. It is essential for applicants to ensure their travel itinerary is clear and that they have the necessary documentation for their final destination to avoid issues at the border.
