About the Belarusian Embassy in Berlin
The Belarusian Embassy in Berlin is the official diplomatic representation of the Republic of Belarus in Germany. It represents Belarusian state interests and maintains official diplomatic and consular relations with Germany.
Diplomatic relations between Germany and Belarus were established in 1992. However, bilateral political relations are currently severely strained. Germany has significantly reduced cooperation with Belarusian state institutions, while maintaining support for Belarusian civil society and people-to-people contacts.
In addition to its diplomatic functions, the embassy operates a consular section and visa office. It assists Belarusian citizens in Germany and handles consular matters relating to travel and official documents.
Visa Information
Belarusian citizens generally need a visa before travelling to Germany. Short visits normally require a Schengen visa, while longer stays for purposes such as employment, study or family reunification require the appropriate German national visa.
German citizens can currently enter Belarus without a visa for stays of up to 30 days. This temporary visa-free arrangement is valid until 31 December 2026 and can be used for entry by land or air. The total period of stay must not exceed 90 days within a calendar year.
Travellers using the visa-free arrangement must meet additional entry conditions, including holding a valid travel document, sufficient financial means and travel health insurance that is valid in Belarus.
Belarus also operates an electronic visa system. Since March 2025, German citizens have been eligible to apply for a single-entry eVisa for stays of up to 30 days. Because the temporary visa exemption remains in force until the end of 2026, an eVisa is not necessary for many short trips.
Entry regulations for Belarus can change at short notice. Travellers should therefore verify the current rules before departure and also take account of Germany's current travel and security advice for Belarus.
Consular Services
The consular section of the Belarusian Embassy in Berlin provides services for Belarusian citizens living or staying in Germany and handles visa-related matters for foreign nationals.
- Belarusian passport and travel document matters
- Consular registration
- Civil status and citizenship matters
- Notarial and document-related services
- Certification and legalisation of eligible documents
- Certificates and other official consular documents
- Visa applications where a Belarusian visa is required
- Emergency consular assistance for Belarusian citizens
The exact requirements depend on the service requested. Some procedures may require original documents, supporting evidence or a personal appearance at the consular section.
Appointments
The procedure for consular services at the Belarusian Embassy in Berlin depends on the type of application. The embassy maintains a dedicated consular section and visa office for applicants in Germany.
Some services may require prior coordination or a personal appointment, while other applications may follow different submission procedures. Applicants should therefore check the current instructions for their specific service before travelling to Berlin.
Residents of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg may also fall within the consular district of the Belarusian Consulate General in Munich. Applicants should confirm which Belarusian mission is responsible for their place of residence before submitting documents.
Diplomatic Missions between Belarus and Germany
Belarus is represented in Germany by its embassy in Berlin. The embassy's official consular district covers the entire Federal Republic of Germany.
Belarus also maintains a Consulate General in Munich, whose consular district covers Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. In addition, Belarus has Honorary Consulates in Cottbus and Hamburg.
The Honorary Consulate in Cottbus has responsibility for Brandenburg, while the Honorary Consulate in Hamburg covers Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. Honorary consulates generally provide a more limited range of services than the embassy or consulate general.
