How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

No visa for up to 30 days. German citizens can enter Belarus visa-free by land or air until 31 December 2026.

The German Federal Foreign Office says visa-free entry can be repeated but total stays are capped at 90 days per calendar year, and that you must leave by the 30th day. Funds and travel health insurance of at least 10,000 euros must be shown. An e-visa for one entry of up to 30 days has been available since March 2025. A travel warning is in force.
