Specialists help people understand difficult life situations and share the necessary information with those who apply. In this article, we will provide answers to the most common and popular questions that arise from citizens of Ukraine.
I am a citizen of Ukraine, planning a trip to visit a Belarusian, what time do I need to register? Do I need to apply for a migration card when entering Belarus?
Foreigners who have arrived in the Republic of Belarus are required to register at the place of their actual temporary stay. Registration is the responsibility of a foreigner. In accordance with the concluded international agreements, citizens of Ukraine must register in Belarus before 30 days from the date of entry. The migration card is not filled in when entering Belarus. However, if a citizen of Ukraine is traveling in transit through Belarus to Russia, then the migration card is filled out.
I am a citizen of Ukraine. How and where are Ukrainians treated? Will I have to pay for medical services?
For citizens of Ukraine, the procedure for providing medical care is defined by the Agreement on the Provision of Medical Care to Citizens of the Member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States. According to this document, regardless of the legal status of a citizen in Belarus, medical care is provided in the following order::
emergency and emergency medical care for sudden acute conditions and illnesses, accidents, poisoning, injuries, childbirth and emergencies during pregnancy is provided unhindered, free of charge and in full.
After eliminating the threat to the patient's health or life, it is possible to transport him. Further medical care is provided on a fee basis.
Scheduled medical care for citizens in the territory of the State of temporary residence is provided for a fee.
Citizens of the CIS member states working under a contract (employment contract) are paid for scheduled medical care by the employer in accordance with the terms of the contract, or at the expense of personal funds of citizens.
My family is citizens of Ukraine. We have been permanently residing and working in the Republic of Belarus for the fourth year. We have insurance policies from our place of work, but we pay for services and treatment at the hospital. Is this legitimate on the part of the medical institution?
Ukrainian citizens working under an employment contract have the right to medical care at the expense of their employers on equal terms with citizens of the Republic of Belarus. The terms of medical care for immigrant workers must be specified in the employment contract or agreement between the foreign employee and the employer in Belarus. Non-emergency medical care in the territory of the Republic of Belarus is paid and can be covered by voluntary health insurance. This type of insurance is called "Voluntary Health Expense Insurance". That is, if you have Voluntary Health Expense Insurance issued by your employer in your name with some insurance company, then the actions of medical institution employees are unlawful, since all expenses are covered according to the issued insurance policy.
I am a citizen of the RB. Does my wife, a Ukrainian citizen with a residence permit in Belarus, have the right to free maternity care? Is it lawful in this situation that my non-working wife pays for maternity care?
Yes, it is lawful. According to the Resolution of the Board of the Ministry of Health of the RB No. 142 of July 25, 2018, the provision of free scheduled medical care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period is provided to foreign women with a residence permit in the Republic of Belarus, provided that they are employed or not working due to disability or being on social leave to care for a child under 3 years of age, a disabled child, and are married to citizens of the Republic of Belarus.
I am a citizen of the RB. My pregnant wife is a citizen of Ukraine. How can I obtain permanent residence for my spouse?
In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Belarus, permanent residence is issued to foreign citizens who are spouses of citizens of the Republic of Belarus permanently residing in the Republic of Belarus.

I live in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, and want to work in Belarus, where can I find a job?
Foreigners, including citizens of Ukraine, who want to find employment in Belarus, can search for jobs independently using the National Vacancy Bank, which is located on the website of the State Employment Service. The vacancy bank contains information about available job openings, as well as details about vacancies in organizations across the republic that provide housing. The vacancy bank is updated daily.
How to properly find employment in Belarus, and I also need a sample employment contract with a Ukrainian.
In the Republic of Belarus, immigrants can engage in labor activities if the available job vacancies are not occupied by citizens and foreigners permanently residing in the Republic of Belarus. Immigrant workers can engage in labor activities in the Republic of Belarus subject to:
— obtaining a special permit
— entering into an employment contract
A special permit is issued to a foreigner upon the request of an employer in the Republic of Belarus. The employer who invites a foreigner to work must apply for a special permit independently. The permit issuance period is 15 days.
It will also be necessary to obtain a temporary residence permit for the purpose of employment for the period of the foreigner's stay in Belarus. A sample employment contract can be viewed here.
The employment contract is registered with the citizenship and migration service. The work schedule specified in it will change. Is it necessary to register the "additional agreement of the parties to the main employment contract," which will specify the new work schedule, with the citizenship and migration service? Or does this concern only the employer and the employee?
An additional agreement is an integral part of the employment contract. If the main employment contract is registered with the citizenship and migration office, then the additional agreement to the employment contract is also subject to registration there.
I am a citizen of Ukraine. I currently live in the Republic of Belarus. Is it true that children of foreign citizens with a Certificate of additional protection have the right to medical care on an equal basis with citizens of the Republic of Belarus?
According to the Law of the Republic of Belarus, minors and adult migrants from Ukraine with a Certificate of additional protection in the Republic of Belarus are provided with the opportunity to receive free medical care.
Additional protection in Belarus is provided to a foreign citizen who has no grounds for granting refugee status, but upon returning to his homeland there are fears of encountering the threat of death penalty, torture, cruel, inhuman treatment due to an international or non-international armed conflict.
Is it mandatory for a Ukrainian who has received a temporary residence permit in the Republic of Belarus to reside at the registration address? Can he live at a different address and report this to the migration service?
In case of a change of place of residence within five days, with the exception of weekends, public holidays and holidays declared non-working by the President of the Republic of Belarus, the foreigner is obliged to register with the registration authority at the new place of residence.
I am a citizen of Ukraine. I want to buy an apartment in Belarus and get a residence permit. Is it real?
Any foreigner or stateless person has the right to purchase real estate in the Republic of Belarus.
The ownership of residential premises in the Republic of Belarus is the basis for obtaining a temporary residence permit in Belarus. It is necessary to collect such documents:
— application for a temporary residence permit
— passport and notarized translation
— registration at the place of residence
— a document confirming the ownership of residential premises
— receipt of payment of the state duty
A more accurate list of documents should be found in the Department of Citizenship and Migration at the place of residence of a foreign citizen. They will also give you a permit there.
