Philippines to Belarus visa requirements

Filipino ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Belarus. The Philippines is not on Belarus's 76-country visa-free airport list and is not eligible for the Belarus e-visa, so you must apply for a short-stay (Type C) visa in advance at a Belarusian diplomatic mission. As of 2026, the Philippines is NOT included in Belarus's visa-free regimes. Belarus offers 30-day visa-free entry through its airports (Minsk, Brest, Gomel, Grodno, Mogilev, Vitebsk) to citizens of 76 listed countries, but the Philippines is absent from that official Ministry of Foreign Affairs list. The Philippines is also not among the ~67 nationalities eligible for the Belarus e-visa. Therefore a Filipino tourist must obtain a traditional short-stay (Type C) visa in advance. There is no Belarusian embassy in the Philippines; the nearest accredited missions covering the region include Belarus's missions handling Southeast Asia (e.g., Hanoi, Vietnam) or applications can be lodged through a BLS-administered visa center where available. The short-stay Type C visa allows stays up to 90 days, can be single/double/multiple entry, costs EUR 60 (standard), and is processed within about 5 working days (2 working days expedited). Belarus is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply; Belarus has its own separate visa system. Applicants should note Belarus requires medical insurance with at least EUR 10,000 coverage valid for the trip. Travelers should verify the exact submitting mission and current fees before applying, as Belarus periodically adjusts its visa-free and e-visa country lists.
