Use a Nepal Bar Council–registered translator and have each translation notarised by a Notary Public. - Income proof for Belarusian visas: ANY ONE of the four Nepal-side income bundles is sufficient (Business OR Salary OR Pension OR Rental) — no need to submit all four. Pick the bundle that matches your active income source. - Nepali ordinary passport holders MUST apply for a Belarusian visa BEFORE travel — Nepal is NOT on the 76-country visa-free-30-days-via-airport list, NOR on the 67-country E-Visa eligibility list (consolidated through March 2025). There is NO visa-on-arrival privilege for Nepal at Minsk Airport without prior MFA authorisation. - There is NO Belarusian embassy, consulate, or VFS centre in Kathmandu. ALL Nepali applicants must travel to Embassy Belarus New Delhi (F-6/8B Vasant Vihar) — or alternatively the Honorary Consulate of Belarus in Kolkata — for biometric capture and visa intake. - Belarus is NOT in the EU or Schengen — Belarusian visas do NOT confer Schengen entry, and Schengen visas do not provide visa-free access to Belarus (despite a Belarusian-Russian Common Visa Space, which is bilateral with Russia only). - Belarus + Russia operate a Common Visa Space (since 2018) — a single-entry Belarusian Type C visa allows entry to Russia via a Belarus-Russia border crossing without a separate Russian visa, BUT only for short-stays and only via designated crossings. This bilateral scheme does NOT apply to Nepali applicants entering Belarus from third countries. ### Documents required for the Belarus transit visa The embassy reviewer in Kathmandu checks the file in this order.

Available at yatraforfun.com/dummy-ticket. - Re-application support — if rejected, the Yatra service fee is waived on the second submission (you re-pay the embassy fee, which is non-refundable on either attempt). ### Common mistakes Nepali applicants make on the Belarus transit visa The five mistakes below account for the majority of preventable rejections we see on Nepal-BY files. None of them are about the embassy being difficult — every one is fixable with a 30-minute pre-submission review. - Photograph not to the embassy specification. Most Belarus missions reject photos that fall outside the exact dimensions (typically 35x45mm or 51x51mm), have a non-white background, show ears partially covered, or were taken more than 6 months ago. Use a photo studio in Kathmandu (Bagbazar / Putalisadak / Naxal) that knows the Belarus embassy spec — pay the extra NPR 200 for a fresh, compliant set rather than reusing an old printout. - Bank balance pumped up the week before submission. Embassy reviewers read the 6-month statement, not the closing balance. A sudden NPR 5,00,000 deposit two weeks before submission with no salary or business inflow history flags as manufactured. Maintain a steady balance in line with declared income; if the funds are genuinely sponsored, attach the sponsor's 6-month statement and an undertaking letter rather than depositing into your own account. - Untranslated Nepali documents. Every Nepali-language document submitted to a Belarus mission must be accompanied by a notary-certified English translation — citizenship card, employer letter on Nepali letterhead, lalpurja (land deed), municipality registration, audit reports. Use a Nepal Bar Council-registered translator and have each translation notarised by a Notary Public; embassies routinely return files with raw Nepali originals. - Cover letter that contradicts the booking dates. If the cover letter says you are travelling 12-25 Oct but the flight booking shows 14-22 Oct, the file gets returned for clarification. Re-read the cover letter against every attached booking before submission — dates, accommodation address, sponsor name, and total stay must match across all documents. - Hotel booking that allows free cancellation but no payment proof. Belarus embassies increasingly recognise the "book a refundable hotel just for the visa, cancel after approval" pattern. A confirmation showing prepayment (or at minimum a non-zero deposit) carries far more weight than a free-cancellation booking. If you genuinely need flexibility, attach the booking plus a covering note explaining your itinerary contingencies — silence reads as deception. ### After approval — the pre-departure checklist for Belarus Visa in passport is not the end of the work. Carry the following on the day of travel — Nepali passport holders are routinely secondary-screened at the entry port for Belarus, and producing the right paperwork at immigration shortens the inspection from 30 minutes to 3. - Printed visa or e-visa PDF — never rely solely on the digital copy on your phone. Carry one printed copy in your hand baggage and a backup in checked baggage. - Confirmed return ticket in your name — Belarus immigration may ask to see the onward flight at arrival, especially for tourist and visit classes. - Hotel confirmation for the first 3 nights minimum, with the address printed in the local language where applicable. Immigration officers ask "where are you staying" and a vague answer triggers secondary screening. - Travel insurance certificate — increasingly mandatory at the entry port even when the visa was approved without it. - Cash in destination currency equivalent to at least USD 100/day for the first 3 days — immigration occasionally asks "show me funds" and a card or e-wallet does not always satisfy. - Yatra concierge contact — if you booked through Yatra, save our 24/7 number (+977 970-9066517) for any visa or entry-port issue. We have helped Nepali travellers re-enter Belarus after secondary-screening flags more than 200 times in the last two years. ### Belarus embassy and visa centre contact in Kathmandu Embassy of the Republic of Belarus — New Delhi (consular jurisdiction over Nepal)F-6/8B, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi 110057, India Phone+91 11 4052 9338, +91 11 4052 9336 Emailindia@mfa.gov.by HoursMon–Fri 08:30–16:30 (consular section by appointment only — call +91 11 4052 9336 or email india@mfa.gov.by).
