From March 1, 2022, the Italian Embassy in Minsk will start accepting and processing applications for Schengen tourist visas. You can submit the documents through TLScontact Visa Application Centre.

The Ministry of Health adopted a new ordinance establishing, with effect from March 1, 2022, the same rules for arrivals to Italy from all non-European countries as those already in force for European countries. For entry to the national territory, one of the conditions of the Green Pass (Eu digital COVID certificate) will be sufficient: certificate of vaccination, certificate of recovery or negative test result (https://www.esteri.it/en/ministero/normativaonline/focus-cittadini-italiani-in-rientro-dall-estero-e-cittadini-stranieri-in-italia/).
