Notes

Important notes

Every Nepali-language document MUST be accompanied by a certified English translation — embassies will reject untranslated originals. Where this page's destination notes ask for an apostille or a specific translator, follow those notes; otherwise a translation notarised by a Notary Public is the usual standard.
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.
Visa types governed by Belarusian visa code: Type B (transit, max 2 days per entry, max 1-year validity), Type C (short-term, max 90 days, single/double/multi), Type D (long-term multiple-entry, 90 days–5 years validity, requires prior 2-year visa usage in last 5 years for 3–5 year terms).
Standard processing: 5 working days (express 2 working days, double fee). Belarus has one of the fastest Schengen-style processing times in Europe.
Visa fees in EUR (set by Tax Code Article 261 + Presidential Decree consolidated 2024): Type B single EUR 30 / double 60 / multi 110; Type C single 60 / double 100 / multi 150; Type D single 150 / multi 220. Express (2-day) processing: double the standard fee. Children < 14 are typically free.
Common Nepali sectors in Belarus: education (Belarusian State University, Belarusian State Medical University in Minsk — popular for English-medium MBBS at lower fees than Western Europe; ~5,000+ Indian + Nepali medical students enrolled across Belarus), business outsourcing (Minsk IT High-Tech Park — though work-permit access is restricted), construction / industry (Brest Free Economic Zone). Visitor numbers from Nepal grew from 72 (2008) to 9,201 (2018), driven primarily by medical-degree-seekers.
Always disclose prior visa refusals (any country) — non-disclosure under the Belarusian Foreigners Act is grounds for refusal + future-application bar.
Nepal joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 14 March 2024 — Nepal-issued public documents apostilled by Nepal MoFA on/after that date are accepted by Belarusian authorities without further consular legalisation.
Belarusian sanctions context (2026): Western sanctions following 2020 + 2022 events have NOT affected Nepalese applicants directly, but financial transfers and SWIFT-routed remittances may face delays — recommend bank-channel verification before paying tuition or property deposits.

The reference number is a Yatra For Fun document number, not an airline PNR, so it will not appear on an airline's Manage Booking page.
