Грамадства / Society What it’s like for an American Citizen to visit Belarus now

Hello all, new to this group. I just got back from visiting Belarus- Minsk, Brest, Mir and Nesvizh Castles. The e-visa was straightforward, the crossing from Vilnius long but uneventful (well sort of) I arrived a day earlier so was sent back and had to wait until midnight to cross…totally my fault. Great people, good food. I even took an older Soviet-era train to Brest which was really cool. I’ve made a video about it on my channel for anyone interested in visiting.

Happy to answer any questions.

Hopefully it's ok to ask, sorry if not.

I see that Uzb citizens can live in Belarus whole year. Is there limit? Are there Uzb citizens there? What it like to live there as Uzb citizen I wonder. I don't need to work there, just to live. Thanks.

The article is behind a paywall (I won't talk about different ways to read it). Of course we all know what's going on, but the article has a lot of interesting details, especially some pages from current school textbooks. The article is more convenient to read on a computer than on a phone.

Пытанне / Question Запрет на выезд

5 Upvotes

Всем привет! В августе мне прислали повестку, я по ней не явился и мне запретили выезд из страны. Вопрос такой, если я приду в военкомат и пройду медосмотр, меня удалят из списка невыездных? Кто-то попадал в такую же ситуацию?

Буду очень благодарен за ответ)

Пытанне / Question Jobs for foreigners?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I am a 26m Swedish citizen living in Stockholm recently graduated with a Bachelors degree in politics, for the past 2 years, I have really been struggling with getting any job here, the experience paradox and skill missmatch are rampant, simple jobs reject me for not having prior experience, and competition for anything is fierce. The rest of the EU doesn't look particularly promising either, so I would like to ask if it is possible for a person like me to do guest work in Belarus and if the situation is different over there, as I have heard Belarus is hiring more foreign guest workers due to existing demographic concerns (such a lower birth rates or emigration just to name a few).

P.S. I have heard that Belarus, despite reputation as the "North Korea of Europe", is now ironically safer than Russia, where the number one concern for men my age is being deceived or coerced into joining that country's army in its Ukraine War.

hi everyone! ♡
i’m 17, i’m from belarus, and i recently moved to minsk! i’m looking to make new friends, especially international people who currently live here!
i know moving to a new country can be difficult, and it can be pretty lonely when everything around you is unfamiliar. i thought it would be nice to meet people who might understand that feeling and would like to make some friends too.
i’d love to chat, get to know each other, hang out, explore the city, go for walks, get some coffee or just spend time together! i’m open to both online friendships and meeting up irl if we get along.
i’m also happy to meet belarusians who are looking for new friends! everyone is welcome.
my english isn’t perfect, but i’ll do my best! 🙂‍↕️ i might make mistakes sometimes, so please be patient with me haha.
if you’re interested, feel free to leave a comment or send me a dm! tell me a little about yourself. i’d love to get to know you :)

Пытанне / Question Помогите разобраться с вопросом. Поездка из Литвы в Беларусь

0 Upvotes

Доброе утро. Нужен совет по поездке в Беларусь.

Мне 23 года, я гражданин Литвы и РФ, всю жизнь прожил в Литве. Из-за двойного гражданства не очень представляю, что делать. До этого был в Белоруссии только по литовскому паспорту, после получения российского не был. Планирую на неделю съездить в Барановичи к знакомым с туристической целью. По маршруту Вильнюс - Минск - Барановичи. Из Вильнюса до Минска на автобусе, а внутри РБ по ЖД.

Хочу понять:

Какие юридические риски существуют при въезде в Беларусь с двумя гражданствами?

Какие документы необходимо предъявлять на границе?

Нужно ли заранее проверять наличие ограничений или других возможных проблем?

Да и чего скрывать, стоит ли бояться поездки из-за всех обстоятельств?

Есть ли у кого-нибудь личный опыт подобных поездок?

Эканоміка / Economy How do people invest in Belarus?

3 Upvotes

Hi there. I was curious about how you guys invest in Belarus.

I live in Spain and here we have access to the European stock market, the US stock market, and others. Most people keep their money in Euro and try to get 5 to 10% gain per year, if not a bit more, on their savings with mixed strategies of investment. The idea is to counteract inflation on flats which is around 10% per year (a lot).

Do you have access to invest in a normal way in Belarus or do you have to risk with other things such as crypto? Can you invest in your local stock market? is it good enough to give you 5 to 10% per year in Euro?
