The Council of Ministers of Belarus has amended Decree #624 of October 30, 2020, “On measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.” The corresponding decree #504 of September 1 was officially published yesterday on the National Legal Internet Portal.
The changes affect the people leaving the country through land checkpoints. Now one can leave the country twice as often: once every three months, not once in six months, as before. However, it’s still not available for everyone.
It’s now possible to leave Belarus more often:
Exit from Belarus through land border crossings has been restricted since December 2020. Officially, it was done due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At first, it was forbidden to leave even for those who had a temporary residence permit abroad. Since July, those who have a temporary residence permit in another country were also allowed to do it, but no more than once every 6 months.
