Departure from Ukraine: the most popular questions
Today we will answer frequently asked questions about how Ukrainians can come to Belarus. Can a man do this? Is the father's permission necessary if the mother is traveling alone with the child? We will discuss all these issues in the material.
Let's take it in order. It is impossible to get directly from Ukraine to Belarus: all checkpoints are closed. You can come to Belarus from Poland (as well as Lithuania, Latvia, and Russia) with a foreign passport. Please note that ID cards cannot be used to cross the Belarusian border.
Nevertheless, the decision to enter Belarus using Ukrainian passports is made by the Belarusian border guards directly at the border. This means that each case is considered individually.
What to do at the border? When entering Belarus, explain to the border guards that you are coming to the country because of the situation in Ukraine. After that, you will be told where to apply. If you want to learn how to cross the Polish border, then find out this information in Poland. As for additional information on entry to Belarus, you will find it on the website of the State Border Committee of the Republic of Belarus.

Do I need a second parent's permission to travel with my child?
No. On June 10, 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted Resolution No. 661. According to it, under martial law, the notarized consent of the second parent is not required to leave the country with a child.
Children can leave Ukraine using the following documents:
- birth certificate;
- ID card;
- a foreign passport, which is extended after the expiration date.
It should be remembered that the rules of border crossing often change. Before traveling, be sure to call the hotline of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine: 1598 (for mobile calls), +38(044)527-63-63 (for calls from abroad) and specify the necessary information.
Important! If you have left Ukraine and need help, you can contact the hotline. Organizations provide financial and psychological assistance, assistance in paperwork, etc.
