If permission is required, what permission is it, where/how is it obtained, and what core onward-travel evidence is required?
The MFA lists a visa for the onward country as the B-visa supporting document; if the onward country does not require a visa, other grounds are considered, including rail, road or air tickets. Applications are submitted through a Belarusian diplomatic mission or consular office or the Foreign Admissions Division at Minsk National Airport; the MFA states five working days, or two working days urgently. A form, photo and foreign travel document are part of the general visa file, with further documents possible at the consular officer's request.
