Argentina to Belarus visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for Belarus. Under a bilateral visa-waiver agreement in force since 19 May 2017, they may enter visa-free for tourism and short visits for up to 90 days per calendar year (counted continuously from the first entry within the current year). Argentina and Belarus signed a mutual visa-exemption agreement that entered into force on 19 May 2017. Holders of ordinary (regular) Argentine passports can travel to, transit through and stay in Belarus without a visa for up to 90 days, calculated as consecutive days from the date of first entry within the current calendar year. The waiver is confirmed on the official list of bilateral visa-free agreements published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, which remains current as of 2026. No eVisa, visa-on-arrival or ETA is required for this nationality. Belarus is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should still carry proof of medical/travel insurance valid in Belarus (a standard entry condition), evidence of sufficient funds and onward/return arrangements. Note that any foreigner intending to stay in Belarus longer than 10 working days must register their place of stay with the local Citizenship and Migration department (hotels normally handle this automatically). Entry must be made through an authorized international border crossing; the separate short-stay "30-day visa-free via Minsk National Airport" program is a different regime and is not needed by Argentines, whose bilateral 90-day waiver is broader and applies at all border points.
