Everything You Need to Know!
Obtaining a tourist visa to enter a Schengen area country requires compliance with a series of specific procedures and requirements, which vary depending on the nationality of the applicant and the destination country.
For Belarusian citizens, one of the key elements to obtaining a tourist visa is the bank guarantee upon the invitation of a citizen residing in Italy.
To obtain a tourist visa from Belarus to Italy, the Bank Guarantee costs €135 for a duration of 180 days and for an invitation valid for up to 90 days.
The maximum stay allowed for tourism purposes is 90 days.
The Bank Guarantee is mandatory when applying for a tourist visa at the Italian Consulate or Embassy in Minsk, Belarus.
It is also recommended for all foreign citizens who wish to visit Italy for short stays, even if they are exempt from the visa requirement.
This financial guarantee plays a crucial role in demonstrating that the traveler has sufficient financial resources to stay in the foreign country without relying on the public system.

In this article, we will explore in detail what a bank guarantee is, how to obtain it, and the main steps that anyone wishing to invite Belarusian citizens from Italy must follow to apply for a tourist visa.
Our agency offers bank guarantees for “Foreign Entry” from Belarus quickly and in compliance with the Ministry Directive of March 1, 2000.
This bank guarantee is essential for non-EU citizens who wish to enter Italy or the Schengen area, ensuring proof of sufficient financial means for their stay.
What is a bank guarantee?
A bank guarantee is a financial security provided by a bank or another authorized financial institution, which commits to covering any expenses of the applicant during their stay in the destination country. It is a form of insurance that guarantees the host country that, in case of necessity (such as medical expenses or repatriation), funds will be available without the country incurring unexpected costs.
In other words, the bank guarantee is a document that certifies that the applicant has the necessary financial resources to cover the expenses of their stay and will not be a burden on the public system of the country they intend to visit.
Why is it required for a tourist visa?
Many European countries, including those in the Schengen area, require a bank guarantee as part of the tourist visa application to ensure that the traveler will not face financial difficulties during their stay.
It is a way to protect against potential risks of irregular immigration and welfare system abuse.
For Belarusian citizens, obtaining a tourist visa for Italy or other Schengen countries often requires the presentation of a bank guarantee to ensure that they have sufficient funds to cover the entire stay.
The amount of the guarantee varies depending on the duration of the stay and the number of people traveling.

To obtain a bank guarantee, you will need to submit a series of essential documents. These include:
For the guarantor of the bank guarantee (the person inviting the foreign citizen to Italy):
- Copy of two identity documents (e.g., ID card and passport or driver’s license);
- Copy of the residence permit (only for foreign citizens residing in Italy);
- Self-certification of personal or family income (view), or from a guarantor (e.g., a friend) who provides the guarantee.
For the beneficiary of the bank guarantee (the foreign citizen being invited):
- Copy of the passport (page with the photo).
IMPORTANT:
- No cash deposit is required.
- No need to open a bank account.
- No release of the bank guarantee is needed at the end of the guarantee period.
Make sure the documents are up-to-date and complete to avoid delays in issuing the bank guarantee.
3. Sign the Bank Guarantee Contract
Once the documents have been verified, we will send you the regularly issued Bank Guarantee via email with a digital signature. It must be signed according to the instructions we will provide.
4. Include the Bank Guarantee in the Visa Application
The bank guarantee certificate will be one of the key documents you need to attach to your tourist visa application. Along with the bank guarantee, you will also need to submit other documents such as the visa application form, passport, photos, return flight reservation, health insurance, and travel plan.
Make sure to check with the Italian consulate or embassy in Minsk for any updated specific requirements for Belarusian citizens and whether additional documents are necessary.

Additional Requirements for Obtaining a Tourist Visa from Belarus
In addition to the Bank Guarantee, Belarusian citizens who wish to obtain a tourist visa for Italy or another Schengen country must meet several additional requirements:
1. Travel Health Insurance
Health insurance is a mandatory requirement for obtaining a tourist visa. This policy must cover any medical and emergency expenses during the stay, with a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros. It is important to choose insurance that is recognized and accepted by the consulate of the destination country.
2. Travel Plan and Proof of Accommodation
You will need to present a detailed travel plan, which includes accommodation bookings for the entire period of stay. This could be a hotel, an apartment, or an invitation letter from a resident of the destination country who guarantees hospitality.
3. Proof of Financial Means
In addition to the bank guarantee, consulates often require proof of sufficient funds to cover personal expenses during the trip. This can be demonstrated through bank statements, credit cards, or other means of payment.
4. Return Flight Ticket
The applicant must prove that they have a return ticket or onward travel ticket to another destination to demonstrate that they do not intend to remain illegally in the destination country.
