Poland to Belarus visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders can travel to Belarus visa-free for tourism. Poland is one of 38 European countries covered by Belarus's visa-free decree, and Polish citizens benefit from an extended stay of up to 90 days per visit. The program is confirmed valid through 31 December 2026. As of 2026-06-03, holders of an ordinary Polish passport do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Belarus. Belarus operates a unilateral visa-free regime, first introduced in July 2024 and extended by presidential decree through 31 December 2026, covering 38 European states including Poland. While most covered nationalities are limited to 30 days per visit, Poland (along with Lithuania and Latvia) enjoys a longer allowance of up to 90 days per entry. Total visa-free stay must not exceed 90 days within a single calendar year. Entry is permitted through Minsk National Airport and through all international road and rail border crossings on the Belarus state border, including the land border with Poland. The passport should be valid (a 6-month validity margin is widely advised) with at least one blank page. Medical insurance valid in Belarus and proof of sufficient funds are required at the border. Note: the visa-free regime does NOT permit onward transit to the Russian Federation. Belarus is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. Diplomatic and special-passport holders are excluded from this scheme (different rules apply). Travelers should re-confirm the regime close to departure, as it relies on an annually renewed decree.
