Aevamo’s reading
Article 27 of Law No. 105-Z imposes the visa requirement on aliens entering Belarus ('при наличии визы, если иное не определено настоящим Законом, иными законодательными актами и международными договорами Республики Беларусь'), and Article 39 caps visa-free stays at 90 days per calendar year; the exemptions operate as exceptions to this statutory default.
The State Border Committee states these 35 European nationalities may enter visa-free until 31 December 2026 for up to 30 days per entry, with a 90-day per-calendar-year cap.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
