Do I need a passport for a trip to Belarus

The attractiveness of the former Soviet republics for Russian tourists is still unchanged. But the complexity of friendly and excursion visits is always associated with confusion in the documents. This factor stops many at the preparation stage. For example, few people know whether a passport is needed to Belarus. So we will try to clarify this issue.

Relations of two countries

Together with Russia, Belarus forms a single union, the agreement on which was signed back in 1997. According to this document between the two countries, border control is canceled, and therefore the customs services stopped working on the Russian-Belarusian border. Starting from 2011, there are no traffic controls in the checkpoints. Thus, by buying a ticket to Minsk, you may not even notice how you find yourself. Meeting with corporate border guards you do not threaten.

Moreover, the contract states that citizens of both states can not only move freely within the specified territories, but can also dwell on any of them for permanent residence.

This rule cancels visas and migration cards, and also does not oblige Russian tourists to present a passport in Belarus.

This document will be needed only if this country is for you transit, and you intend to go through it to other countries. In this case, the visa's question should be clarified, perhaps it will be needed to you with the passport.
