Belarus says Bahrainis don’t need visas for visit

Must show valid passport and have €125 for five-day stay

Belarus has allowed visafree entry to Bahrainis with effect from Thursday. “The Republic of Belarus has exempted Bahrainis from visa requirements to enter its territories as of February 9, 2017, provided they enter the country via the international airport in Minsk and their stay does not exceed five days,” Bahrain’s foreign ministry said in a statement posted on its website.

“Bahrainis will also have to provide a valid passport or any other acceptable travel documents, a minimum sum of €125 (Dh487) for five-day stay, and a health insurance with cover of at least €10,000 to avail the visa-free entry.”

In December 2016, President Alexander Lukashenko reaffirmed Belarus’ eagerness to enhance relations with Bahrain and develop cooperation in various fields.
