Step-by-step: how to apply from Nepal

Confirm the visa type and current requirements on the official portal (https://mfa.gov.by/en/visa/ru_visa_types/ (Belarusian MFA visa-types reference) · https://mfa.gov.by/en/visa/oformlenie/ (application process) · https://india.mfa.gov.by/en/ (Embassy of Belarus New Delhi) · https://mfa.gov.by/en/visa/general/evisa/ (E-Visa scheme — Nepal NOT eligible) · https://mfa.gov.by/en/visa/freemove/airport/ (Visa-free-via-airport scheme — Nepal NOT eligible) · https://mfa.gov.by/en/visa/airport/ (Visa-on-arrival at Minsk National Airport — by prior MFA authorisation only)).
Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at Embassy of Belarus New Delhi (sole intake point for Nepal applicants) + Honorary Consulate Kolkata (alternate) or start the online form.
Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.
