Visa-free regime to Belarus can be expanded next year

         In the end of this year the Belarusian government will analyze the effects of the five days visa-free regime for the citizens of 80 states. It was implemented last February. There are aspirations to expand the visa-free visit till 10 or 30 days. Current visa-free regime applies only to the visitors who arrive to the Minsk International Airport. In the future plans there might be an option of land border crossing. Most probably next year there will be possible to visit Belarus without visa for 10 days. For the citizens of China it could be expanded up to 30 days.

The Union State of Russia and Belarus: time to separate?

              Russia has established a border area with its partner of the Union – Belarus. Allegedly it has to do with the “necessary security of the boarder control of the Russian Federation”.  However, it is not the first time when Russia makes steps that show that not everything is smooth and harmonized in this Union. Last year Russian government have forbidden a transit of foreign passengers to Russia via Belarus. Also Belarusian citizens’ passports are being checked in the Russian airports that was not a case before. Belarus pays these costs for being not obedient to Russia. If you want be a master, you have to take care of you dependant, if you do not have resources, be ready that a dependant will look for another master.
