Travel Tips

Whereas the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Belarus is keen to facilitate travel, residence and protection of its citizens from any difficulties or obstacles that may be encountered during their travel, thus, it provides some important guidance to assist citizens if they wish to travel to the Republic of Belarus:

• If non-Qatari staff and domestic workers are accompanied, the sponsor must inquire about the visas and procedures to be followed in this regard.

If the citizen is forced to carry a larger sum, he must declare it when he arrives at the airport (by going through the checkpoint in red) to avoid charges being brought against him and confiscation of the sum before passing through the checkpoint in green. Because if the security men discovered that, or even if the citizen admitted to the employee, after passing the green point, the amount in his possession, the citizen will be required to pay a fine, regardless of the delay and interrogation during the inspection and the amount will be confiscated.
