Since the start of this year, 377,935 citizens from Lithuania, Poland, and Latvia have travelled to Belarus using the visa-waiver program, with Lithuania being the most represented. Since the program’s introduction, about 762,921 people from Belarus’ neighbouring countries have visited the country. Belarus implemented visa-free entry for Lithuania and Latvia on April 15, 2022, and for Polish citizens from July 1, 2022. Citizens of Lithuania and Latvia can enter Belarus through border crossing points on the Belarusian-Polish border.
Those benefiting from the visa-waiver program can enter Belarus without visas for unlimited times until December 31, 2023, but the number of days in Belarus should not exceed 90 days in a calendar year, yet those wishing to transit through Belarus to third countries must hold a visa. In June, the State Border Committee of Belarus reported that Belarus welcomed nearly 600,000 travellers from its neighbouring EU states since introducing the program.
