Do British passport holders need a visa for Belarus?

Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.

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. UK passport holders can enter Belarus visa-free until 31 December 2026.

The UK says British nationals can stay up to 30 days per visit and 90 days per calendar year, but the arrangement does not apply when traveling directly from or to Russia. FCDO also advises against all travel to Belarus, and insurance could be invalidated if you go anyway.
