Q&A: citizens of Ukraine. Is it possible to come to Belarus from third countries?
Can Ukrainians travel from Russia to Belarus using a Ukrainian passport?
Ukrainians can enter the Republic of Belarus using a foreign passport (biometric or not, it does not matter). However, when traveling from Russia, according to Russian laws, Ukrainian citizens can travel from Russia to Belarus only through those checkpoints where border control is carried out.
Since there are no border controls at the automobile and railway border checkpoints between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, the only way Ukrainian citizens can get to Belarus from Russia is by plane from Sheremetyevo International Airport.
Can a citizen of Ukraine enter Belarus from Latvia?
Yes, Ukrainians can come to Belarus from other countries. Unlike Russia, it is possible to get to the Republic of Belarus from other countries by land transport. Belarusian checkpoints operate without restrictions.
Ukrainians can get to Belarus using a foreign passport. However, the decision to allow Ukrainian citizens to enter Belarus is made directly at the border by Belarusian border guards. As a rule, if Ukrainian citizens want to come to Belarus in search of asylum or in order to obtain additional protection status, they are allowed through.
A minor citizen of Ukraine wants to visit his father, who is in Belarus. Do Belarusian border guards ask parents' permission for their children to cross the border?
No, border guards do not require such permission from parents when entering or leaving Belarus.
Can a citizen of Ukraine issue a power of attorney in Belarus for a relative, a Russian citizen, to drive a car with Ukrainian license plates?
No, it is impossible to issue a power of attorney at the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Belarus. Belarusian notaries issue such powers of attorney only if those the passport for the car was issued in Belarus.
Can a citizen of Ukraine travel from Belarus to Russia by car if he has a Belarusian residence permit?
No, because the Belarusian residence permit is an internal document that confirms that a foreigner is legally in Belarus. It cannot replace a passport, and border crossings are carried out using a passport. Thus, even in this situation, you will have to cross the border of Belarus with Russia using a foreign passport by plane.
Can a citizen of Ukraine come to Belarus to obtain refugee status, but leave Belarus before receiving this status, and then return again?
According to the laws of Belarus, all foreigners who come to the country to obtain refugee status must stay in Belarus throughout the entire period of consideration of the application for protection. As a rule, this period takes up to 6 months from the date of registration of the application.
