In case of loss (theft) of documents, money, etc., contact the nearest branch of the local law enforcement agencies to draw up a corresponding report of loss (theft).

Consular offices of the Republic of Belarus protect the rights and interests of the Republic of Belarus, its legal entities, and citizens.

The consul is obliged to take measures to ensure that legal entities and citizens of the Republic of Belarus enjoy the full range of rights granted to them by the legislation of the host country, international treaties of the Republic of Belarus and the host country.

PERSONAL SAFETY AND PROPERTY SECURITY RULES

Respect the secular and religious traditions of the country you are visiting, including observing the established dress code. Preserve the natural environment, be careful with natural, historical, and cultural monuments.

Stock up on medications that you need so that in case of necessity you do not depend on whether they are available in the travel first aid kit. These can be painkillers, antihistamines and fever reducers, remedies for poisoning and other ailments, sunscreen and treatments for sunburn. Remember that basic self-care products can be much more expensive abroad, and many of them cannot be purchased without a prescription from a local doctor.

To avoid troubles, it is better not to drink tap water; it is preferable to use bottled drinking water. It can be bought in stores. Tourists should always remember and follow personal preventive measures against infectious and parasitic diseases.

Remember that you should always take into account the time of year and the conditions of the climate zone where you intend to rest. Prolonged exposure to the sun can be not only harmful but also dangerous. If you suffer from heart disease or have high blood pressure, reduce your time on the beach. Do not neglect headgear.

In the summer, be sure to use sunscreens with a high degree of protection from solar radiation. In the first few days of your stay, it is advisable to refrain from eating dishes with a large amount of vegetable oil and spicy foods.

Being in the forest or mountains, as well as in open water bodies, is always associated with a certain risk. Do not walk barefoot in the forest or without headgear. Do not pick unfamiliar plants and mushrooms, and under no circumstances eat them. Beware of wild animals, do not feed them.

Follow cleanliness rules when on the streets of the cities you visit. Keep in mind that in many of them there is a fine system for littering the streets. Street trading is prohibited everywhere.

Use taxis, avoid private carriers. Do not forget to check the meter when you get into the car. If you rent a car, remember that in most countries it is mandatory to have an international driver's license and a credit card. It is necessary to study the traffic rules in the host country. Park only in paid parking lots or in designated areas. Do not leave any items in the car, lock the doors even for a short time.

When in big cities, remember about the possibility of terrorist acts, hooliganism, and banditry. Do not go to dubious areas. Do not leave your things unattended, do not exchange currency with street vendors, avoid dark and deserted streets and alleys, avoid participating in street gambling and lotteries.

Study your insurance policy. Remember that your health insurance covers only injuries and sudden illnesses that are not chronic. If you experience an exacerbation of a chronic disease during your trip, health insurance will not help in this case. You will have to pay for treatment yourself. Ski tourists should remember that insurance does not cover injuries received while skiing outside designated trails.
