A European holiday could soon come with fewer visa hurdles for Indian travellers. Belarus has added India to the list of countries whose citizens can apply for an electronic visa, making it possible to complete the visa process online rather than relying entirely on traditional applications. The move was approved by the Council of Ministers of Belarus on September 14, 2026, following an initiative by the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The visa change comes at a time when Belarus is also looking to improve its air connectivity with India. Plans are underway for direct flights from Minsk to Mumbai and Goa, although the proposed routes have not yet been launched. Together, the e-visa facility and prospective air links could make Belarus more accessible to Indian tourists and business travellers.
