Visa Services

Consular Services Notice

The Government of Belarus requested on March 31 that the United States again reduce the size of our Embassy in Minsk.  As you are aware, only last week, our Embassy reduced the number of American staff by half.  We consider these demands by the Belarusian Government to be unwarranted and unjustified.

At this time, the Consular Section is only able to provide American citizen services by appointment only.  To make an appointment, please contact the Consular Section (see contact information below).  Although we resumed visa processing this week, we have again found it necessary to temporarily suspend the acceptance of most visa applications.  Visit the Embassy's website at for the latest updates.
