Can anyone comment on the current requirements when applying for a multiple entry visa (90 days or 1 year) and the need to rent a hotel via a travel agency in order to secure a letter of invitation - is this still the case, even for citizens from the US/EU? If anyone has rented an apartment on their own, can you recommend which exact travel agency or service you've used in order to get the letter of invitation?
Anyone know?
I'm interested in this as well.
@Traktor and other long-term Belarus guys: where did you get the invitation for your long-term visa?
For a long-term (type D) visa, the business invitation seems pretty complicated (lots of paperwork, contracts, letters of employment, etc), but the private invitation seems easier (invitation letter from Migration Department).
Having said that, I haven't found any place online that will issue invitation letters for long-term visas (everyone online is offering tourist invitations, which are only for short-term visas (type C), which are valid for a maximum 90 days and each stay can be no longer than 30 days).
In fact, for short-term (type C) visa, you don't need an invitation letter if you're EU, USA, Canada, plus a handful of other countries (but you have to include contact info for whoever's inviting you on the visa application).
