Business visits to Belarus

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Lithuanian passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see mfa.gov.by.
