Visa required — no exceptions
Tunisian passport holders cannot enter Belarus without an approved e-Visa. There is no visa-on-arrival, no visa waiver, and no special arrangement. Apply online at e-visa.by at least 7 days before your trip.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Belarus, not from your departure date. If your passport expires within 6 months of landing, renew it before applying for the visa.

Apply for your e-Visa online

Receive and print your visa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your e-Visa PDF. Print at least two copies — one to present at passport control, one as backup. Save a digital copy on your phone too.
