Important Notes

German citizens can enter Belarus visa-free for up to 30 days via Minsk National Airport (MSQ). This visa-free regime does NOT apply to arrivals or departures from/to Russia, as these flights are considered internal. The 30-day period includes the day of arrival and departure. For stays longer than 30 days, or entry/exit through other border crossings, a standard visa is required. Registration with the local authorities (OVIR) is required if staying for more than 10 business days.
