Belarus visa for Norwegian citizens

What it means in practice

30 days is about a month. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 30 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.

How Belarus counts your stay: Visa-free: up to 30 days per visit, no extension. Stays longer than 10 working days must be registered with the migration office or on portal.gov.by; hotels do it at check-in. Late registration is fined.

• Passport valid at least 90 days beyond your planned departure from Belarus (airport scheme)
• Medical insurance for at least €10,000 and proof of funds
• Declare cash over US$10,000 on a customs form and keep it: you cannot take out more than you declared
• When leaving by air to Russia, make sure you get a Belarusian exit stamp, or you will not be let back in
• The land border with Ukraine is closed

How to avoid overstaying

• Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
• Plan to leave a day or two early. With 30 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
• Extend before you run out. Visa-free stays cannot be extended; longer stays need a visa.
• Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Belarus. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
