How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prior appointment and personal New Delhi submission | required | visa application | Book the Embassy appointment through the address specified on its current official page, india.consul@mfa.gov.by, stating the actual purpose, dates, inviter and permanent India address; wait for the confirmed slot. The mission accepts visa applications by prior appointment and personal submission. This guide is for the direct New Delhi consular route, not a Mumbai provider, airport-on-arrival process, Russia-transit arrangement or eVisa application. |
| One complete, personally signed application in block letters | required | visa application | Complete one current visa application in English, Russian or Belarusian, with complete consistent answers, the real detailed purpose and N/A where genuinely inapplicable. Sign personally and match passport, inviter, hotel and travel dates. The linked actual form asks about previous visits, law violations, funds, insurance and temporary address. Form-language permission does not establish accepted languages for every supporting document. |
| Valid original passport: two blank pages and ninety days after expected departure | required | visa application | Provide the genuine original passport containing the holder photograph, at least two blank visa pages and validity at least ninety days after expected departure from Belarus. It must have no torn pages or unauthorised marks/corrections. This competent-adult Indian scope has no minor birth-certificate or former USSR/Belarus-citizenship evidence branch. The anchor here is expected departure, not an invented Schengen visa-validity rule. |
| One colour photograph, 35 by 45 mm, taken within six months | required | visa application | Provide one recent colour photograph, no older than six months, measuring 35 by 45 mm, full face occupying 70 to 80% of the image, on a plain evenly lit light background at high resolution. Follow the mission rules on sunglasses/head coverings and image condition. No unrelated online portrait file-size limit is imposed on this physical consular file. |
| Original invitation issued by the citizenship and migration unit | required | visa application | Use the actual invitation issued by the competent citizenship and migration unit for the private visit, not an ordinary friend email or an assumed Indian-notary replacement. This scope chooses the already-issued ORIGINAL document required by Delhi, which retains original support after adjudication. National information-on-issuance and other private-purpose alternatives are not used as a local original-document waiver. Retain all terms and obligations actually attached to the issued invitation; no general host-cost waiver is inferred. |
| Insurance certificate copy; original policy carried on the trip | required | visa application | Submit copies of the insurance certificate pages showing the insurer identity/contact, insured traveller, Belarus territorial coverage, whole-stay dates and cover of at least EUR 10,000. A qualifying foreign insurer, including an Indian insurer, is accepted; the mission also links Belarusian insurers. The entire insurance booklet is unnecessary. Carry the original policy during the stay. Treatment funding is separate from travel-insurance evidence. |
| Hotel confirmation directly on the Belarus hotel letterhead | required | visa application | Obtain the actual booking confirmation directly from the hotel on its letterhead by email or fax, covering the itinerary. The Delhi page rejects a reservation merely from websites such as Booking.com. Do not convert the permitted email/fax hotel confirmation into a universal wet-ink original requirement. This scope uses a hotel and excludes rented private apartments and their landlord ownership/business-registration branch. |
| Confirmed flight itinerary consistent with the visit | required | visa application | Provide the confirmed flight itinerary required by the Delhi page. This scope enters and leaves Belarus by air without transit through Russia. It does not claim any Russia visa or mutual-recognition exemption, land-border opening or guaranteed airline carriage. |
| At least three-month personal bank statement; payslip is an alternative | required | visa application | The Delhi page requests a personal bank account statement for at least the three months before submission and says a workplace payslip is also acceptable. This scope chooses genuine personal bank evidence. No universal bank stamp, original-paper certification, ITR history, six-month bank period or cumulative bank-plus-payslip packet was established by the current mission wording. Confirm any actual additional request. |
| Entry funds: two base units per day for a stay shorter than one month | required | visa application | National MFA border guidance uses at least fifty base units for each month of stay, or at least two base units for each day when entering for less than one month, using the value on entry day. These are duration alternatives, not cumulative charges. The separately dated Tax Ministry notice sets one base unit at BYN 45 from 1 January 2026: that gives BYN 90/day or BYN 2,250/month while that rate remains in force. The Delhi page also displays USD 25/day and USD 600/month without a conversion date; do not treat them as fixed equivalents or proof the variable rule is satisfied. Confirm current admission evidence and funding for the actual trip; a visa is not admission. |
| Consular fee receipt and actual handling time | required | visa application | The Delhi page quotes EUR 60 standard and EUR 120 urgent, payable in the instructed INR amount through bank, not cash/card at the Embassy. Follow the consular officer's exact amount and same-day deposit-slip instructions; recheck current fees/exemptions before paying. National guidance describes five working days, urgent two working days, with possible extension; Delhi strongly recommends applying at least a month before travel. Urgency is not guaranteed. The separate eVisa EUR 6 service charge is not imposed on this consular branch. |
| Confirm supporting-document translation and authentication | required | visa application | English, Russian and Belarusian are expressly permitted for filling in the application. A general Delhi short-stay rule for every supporting document's language, translator qualification, notarised/certified translation or apostille was not established. Confirm actual requests before commissioning processing. No automatic paid translation, notarisation, apostille or legalisation is selected. |
| Arrange hotel registration promptly after arrival | required | visa application | Arrange registration at the actual place of stay with the hotel reception promptly on arrival and retain confirmation. National MFA guidance states within ten days, while Delhi uses ten business days; do not use the longer wording to delay registration. The national page describes free electronic registration where available. No Indian-national treaty exception is assumed by this scope. |
| Keep the chosen consular route distinct from the Indian eVisa option | required | visa application | The current national eVisa page and its linked 68-country country-list image include India. The separate eVisa route is single-entry up to thirty days for its listed purposes and does not require consular support documents. This guide deliberately uses the Delhi consular route and retains its original support file; no online waiver is imported. It does not establish the full online upload checklist or medical/religious eVisa eligibility. |

Directly read current New Delhi intake and national purpose instructions, including the current 2026 host petition and actual application form.

FAQs
Are all documents for Belarus short family / friend visits automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
