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. French passport holders can enter Belarus visa-free for up to 30 days per stay.

The visa exemption is in effect through December 31, 2026. The 30-day stay is counted from the date of entry, and cumulative visa-free stays in Belarus cannot exceed 90 days per year. Travelers must have a passport valid for at least 3 months after their return date, medical and repatriation insurance with at least €10,000 coverage, and funds of 2 base units per day. Foreign travelers must register within 10 calendar days.
