How to get Belarusian visa?
Remember that getting Belarusian visa is usually easier than you think :) In most cases you need to submit along with your application two documents which are invitation and voucher. Together they are called visa support documents. There are embassies which are democratic (they are OK with files to be sent via e-mail or by fax) )and there are ones which are very conservative what means that they require you to present the originals of invitation in voucher. Of course, it means that I will have to mail them to you what increase the time and cost of providing visa support service. In case travelers do not want to deal with "unfriendly Belarusian embassy" I advise them two options: getting visa at another country (I suggest a country based on the traveler's schedule and other things) or obtaining it at the Minsk-2 national airport upon the arrival. In order to define the best option please mail me your travel itenerary Please note, that Belarusian visa is not issued at the border (except Minsk-2 airport)!

What is registration and how to register?
Registration is a part of the legacy of former USSR which Belarus inherited after its breakup in 1991. And we still live with it :(The good thing about registration is that it's not required if you spend up to 3 days in the country. Moreover weekend and official holidays are not included into this term. For example, if you come on Saturday morning you may skip registration until Wednesday next week (5 days in total). Now registration is simplified and its cost is fixed (before the cost was calculated according to the number of days you are staying in the country). The current cost is about 6-7 Euros.

How to get transit visa to Belarus?
To get transit visa (for the case when you cross Belarus on your way from east to west or from north to south) you will need to have visa for the country of your travel, e.g. Russia or Ukraine. If the country of entry doesn't require visa you must present a document confirming your trip to the country of destination: a copy of the ticket, itinerary description from a travel agency and so on. Russian visa is valid for Belarus for a period of 48 hours for transit travelers only.

What is the visa's cost?

What places do you offer to see?
First of all it's the capital and its main street starting from Yakuba Kolasa to Ploschad Lenina metro station. Walking that way you will get an idea of how the center of Minsk looks like and see such sights as: Victory square, Gorky park, McDonalds (OOPS), central square with the palace of the Republic and the museum of Great Patriotic war, main post office and Lenina square where House of Parliament and the Red church are. There is a remarkable building in the east of the city located on the main street as well. It's National library - huge sized building made in high-tech style. On the second day or during the same one if you are short of time, see the Old town and Troickoe suburb what is at Nemiga metro station. Outside of Minsk apart from well-known Khatyn and Mound of Glory I advise to see Stalin line and Dudutki.
