Do Gambian citizens need a visa for Belarus?
Gambian passport holders need a visa for Belarus, arranged before you travel. Depending on the country, that means an online application, a sponsor or agent, or an appointment at a visa centre. If you hold a Schengen visa or similar, it can be easier: see below.
What this means for your trip
- Start early. Some countries take the whole application online; others need a visa-centre appointment for fingerprints, and waits can be long in peak season.
- Typical documents: application form, photos, bank statements, tax returns, an employment letter, bookings and travel insurance.
- If you already hold certain other visas, a simpler route may apply. Check the section below.
Easier if you already hold another visa
Gambian passport holders who hold one of these documents can get Visa-free instead:
- Schengen visa
A valid Schengen or EU national visa replaces the Belarusian visa when arriving and departing through Minsk National Airport. Not valid for travel via Russia.
