Why These Rules?
Belarus applies strict visa policies to manage immigration and ensures that visitors follow the rules of living. The EVISA system, launched on March 20, 2025, simplifies access to 67 countries, including Pakistan, but remains a strict investigation for security. The visa-free option for Schengen visa holders aims to promote tourism, but the Belarus-Russia Union State Agreement has been excluded from land/Russia routes.
