Visa for Belarus for an Australian

Hi

I will be needing a transit visa ONLY for Belarus.

I am travelling by train from Moscow to Warsaw through Belarus in November.

I am an Australian, still in Australia at the moment.

There is no Belarus consulate/embassy in Australia, does anyone know where/how i can apply for a Belarus transit visa here in Sydney??

Or, can i just get the Visa in Moscow?? WIll it take long??

Also, how much will a Belarus transit visa cost per person???

Nice to see an Aussie hear again))

Well , from my experience people from your part of the world arrange to apply at some point of their European itinerary. In Vilnius, Kiev for instance. They get a tourist visa all right and proceed.

Note that cost of the transit visa is the same as that of tourist visa and the latter gives you a right to overnight in Belarus.

I witnessed an American girl who had a hotel booking in Minsk and tried to apply for a transit visa to Belarus at MSQ Minsk Airport. Well, she was rejected and I had to give her my home details so as to enable her getting a guest visa.

So: choose the dates, address a travel agent, get the invitation, apply in Moscow or wherever, and travel))

Thanks

so, i could apply for a transit visa in Moscow before i leave?

Any idea how long it will take and how much it would cost?

I assume i would apply for it at the Bearus Consultate in Moscow???

Yes, absolutely right. If you have enough time, Belarusian Consulate in Moscow it is.
