🇸🇹 São Tomé and Príncipe visa requirements for Belarusian citizens

Entry rules for Belarus passport holders

Before traveling to São Tomé and Príncipe, Belarusian citizens must apply for an electronic visa through the official São Tomé and Príncipe government portal. Processing usually takes from a few hours to a few business days, so apply well before your flight. Print a copy of the approval to show at check-in and on arrival.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official São Tomé and Príncipe immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Belarusian passport ranks #105 worldwide, opening 83 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (44 visa-free, 37 with a visa on arrival and 2 with an eTA). São Tomé and Príncipe is not among them — it is one of the 85 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.

In the other direction, Sao Tomean citizens traveling to Belarus face a different rule: visa required.

Middle Africa is closed to spontaneous travel for Belarusian passport holders: none of its 10 destinations can be entered without an application first.
