Embassy of the United States Minsk Belarus

Under Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, visa applicants must overcome the presumption that they are intending immigrants. To do so, applicants must prove to the consular officer at the time of application that they have sufficient ties to Belarus to compel them to return from the United States. Documents showing business ties, property ownership or family ties to Belarus can therefore assist in supporting a visa application.

If you are not a citizen of Belarus and would like to know if a visa is required for your country, please view the Visas Waiver Program website for more information.
