I went to the travel agency specialized in Russia and other former USSR countries - Lusitana Sol -, to get some more info about how to get the visa, since I couldn't apply for the one in Paris.
After talking for a while, the lady told me that for a tourist visa I would need to have a reservation of a hotel, and then I could get a 30 days visa after that date. At least that's how it worked for Russia.
After making some phone calls, she told me that it's no longer like that, and that I get the visa only for the days that I made a reservation for the hotel, making this visa extremely expensive.
That way, she suggested me to try to get a private visa, by asking someone there to go the the Foreign Ministry Office and to ask for the official paper to invite someone.
I asked a person over Couchsurfing to do that, and I'll get more info about that by tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I spoke with some Portuguese people (also through CS) who just went to Belarus and they told me that since the beginning of this year that invitation paper in no longer needed for a citizen of the EU, so I only need to give the name and address of the person I'm staying with.
They both told me it's possible to get a visa in few hours in Kiev or Vilnius. These were the best news! ;D
