What are the precautions for traveling to Belarus?
1. In recent years, the economic situation in Belarus is not good, so the social situation is not very stable. Although the current government adopts the control measures of the former Soviet Union, it can only maintain the stability of appearance. When China people come to Belarus for tourism, business and investigation, they must be cautious in words and deeds, and at the same time pay attention to the principle of not revealing their wealth, and don't covet petty advantages.

2. The security situation in Belarus is not perfect. Avoid staying outside after dark. Don't deal with police and public security personnel unless necessary to avoid unnecessary trouble. Pay attention to information about terrorist activities.

All relevant procedures and supporting documents must be complete, so as to avoid taking the opportunity to blackmail corrupt officials.

If you want to transfer from Moscow or return to China through Moscow, you must have a Russian visa or a transit visa. Because the flight between Minsk and Moscow is not the same airport as the general Russian international flight, you will be in a dilemma without the above visa. There have been several similar cases, please pay attention.

5. Due to the wind direction, Belarus is the area most seriously affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the former Soviet Union, and its impact is still extremely serious, especially in the southeast. People from China should pay special attention to prevention in diet, life and other aspects.

6. If you come from Moscow by train, you don't check it when you enter the country (sometimes the customs doesn't check the flights arriving from Moscow), and you may "cause trouble" when you leave the country (if you bring more than 3,000 US dollars of foreign currency). There is no clear stipulation in this regard.

7. Belarus Customs requires the prior consent of the Ministry of Culture to take the artworks out of the country, but most passengers are too busy to go through the formalities. Therefore, it is recommended not to buy large-scale works of art such as oil paintings to avoid trouble when leaving the country.

8. Belarus still maintains a state-locked mentality. General shops and restaurants do not have the concept of "service industry", and their attitudes are not very good, lacking professionalism. Therefore, they need to be psychologically prepared when shopping.

Belarus is a country with strict foreign exchange control. Shopping and consumption must be paid in Belarusian roubles. However, some self-employed people often ask for direct payment in US dollars, which requires special attention. If it is caught by the police, the procedure is very troublesome.
