Israeli citizens can enter Belarus visa-free for up to 30 days, sababa for tourism or short visits, but only if arriving and departing via Minsk National Airport (MSQ). This exemption doesn't apply if you're flying in from or heading to the Russian Federation, which is a key detail to remember.

For longer stays, or if your purpose is work, study, or permanent residence, a visa is still required. Also, make sure your medical insurance covers at least €10,000 and you have enough funds – about 2 base values per day – to avoid any balagan at immigration. The total visa-free stay cannot exceed 90 days within a calendar year.

Your Israeli passport needs to be valid for at least 90 days beyond your planned departure date from Belarus. It's always a good idea, yalla, to have a passport with even more validity, say six months, just in case your travel plans shift a bit.

Ensure your passport is in good condition and has at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. A damaged passport or one nearing its expiry could lead to unnecessary complications, so check it well before you travel.

For Israeli citizens, if you're transiting through Minsk National Airport (MSQ) and your layover is short, generally you won't need a separate transit visa, especially if you remain in the international transit zone. However, if you wish to leave the airport and explore a bit, the 30-day visa-free regime applies, provided you meet all its conditions, including not flying to or from the Russian Federation.

Remember, the visa-free entry is specifically for arrivals and departures via MSQ. If your transit involves other entry points or extends beyond the 30-day limit, or if you're flying to/from the Russian Federation, you'll need to secure a proper transit visa beforehand. Don't make a fashla and assume it's all good without checking!

Currently, Israeli citizens do not need a separate electronic travel authorization (ETA) or similar pre-approval system to enter Belarus. Your entry is governed either by the visa-free regime for short stays via Minsk National Airport or by a traditional visa obtained from a Belarusian embassy or consulate.

Just ensure you have all the necessary documents for the visa-free entry – valid passport, medical insurance, and sufficient funds – to avoid any chutzpah at the border. There's no online portal to apply for a special travel authorization.

As of now, Belarus does not offer a general eVisa system for all nationalities, including Israeli citizens. Visas, when required (i.e., for stays longer than 30 days, or for purposes other than tourism/short visits, or if not arriving/departing via MSQ under the visa-free regime), must be obtained through a Belarusian embassy or consulate in advance.

Therefore, there isn't an official government website to apply for an eVisa for Belarus. If you need a visa, you'll have to go through the traditional application process. Don't fall for any unofficial sites claiming to offer an eVisa; stick to the official channels to avoid a balagan.
