Релокация в Беларусь

Привет реддиторы!

В последнее время задумался о переезде в Беларусь на пмж.

Сетап такой, что хочу работать на зарубежную компанию на удалёнке, а в Беларуси платить налоги и наслаждаться жизнью.

Но есть прикол в моём гражданстве Украины. Буду ли я как-то преследоваться на уровне закона, проходить какие-то фильтрации и тому подобное?

Спасибо славяне

Day to day life in Belarus?

I am from Croatia. When I search up photos of Minsk or Belarus in general what pops up is basically North Korea. I have relatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina and when I visit them it is a huge contrast to Croatia. Croatia has mainbrands while half of BiH is wearing Abibas or Mike and using Ipear or stuff like that. People work as truckdrivers, in restaurants or wife home husband abroad. The political situation is atrocious and totally disfuncional, so is Croatia but BiH is a hellhole. Is this comparable to Belarus? Whats like living there? What do yall do, eat, how do you have fun, work, education...?

Spending new years in Belarus

I’d like to experience New Year’s celebrations in Minsk, but I’m struggling to fully understand the visa-free policy for the 35 European countries. I plan to enter from Latvia 27 or 28 of December, but I’m confused—can I stay past December 31, 2024? Do I need a visa. I tried contacting the local embassy, but I’ve been waiting for a reply for over a month😂. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Interesting interview by the head of Lithuanian Secret Service

https://youtu.be/kuUJjmrveoU?si=ZyZQO0VfKLvODBxW

  1. Many Belarusian immigrants in Lithuania are approached by KGB when they visit Belarus.
  2. KGB is intersted to target Lithuanian infrastructure.
  3. Many belarusian residents in Lithuania are disloyal to the host country
  4. Litvinism is idealogy created and spread by Russian and Belarusian KGBs to sow Lithuanian hate towards Belarusian immigrants. Commented that it is largely unsuccessful as it failed to gain traction. New methods are created including attacks on Belarusian businesses in Lithuania (i.e. belarusian KGB attacks belarusians claiming it was by Lithuanians)
  5. Russian KGB aims to edit education programs in Belarus to discredit Lithuanian heritage in Belarus.
  6. Belarusians in Lithuania should be prevented from going back to Belarus to prevent KGB's sabotage.
  7. Politicians in Lithuania fail to understand the threat from Belarus. Stricter immigration controls are needed.

What do you guys think - do you agree?

Trying to identify an event that a Belarusian exile spoke about

So today I had a fun conversation while waiting in an occupation medicine doctor's office. This fairly young guy (25 I believe) and I struck up a conversation and eventually I found out he'd spent a year in prison in Belarus basically for political reasons. It was a fun chat but I had to go get my EKG taken and ultimately we have not met again and weren't able to continue the conversation.

What interests me is the event that apparently got him imprisoned. He said that his face was put on a dress and that got him moderately famous/infamous and eventually ended up with him jailed as a political prisoner. He also was quite embittered about the media kinda forgetting about him and his friends

When I was on my way home I tried to research the story and wasn't able to find anything (with a pretty lazy google). So can you guys enlighten me on the event/story in question?

Also if you happen to be reading this dude, sorry I never introduced myself! It was a fun chat and I haven't had many of those recently. Hope the remote work thing works out for you eventually

Terespol-Brest Motorway Border Crossing

Hi, I am about to cross the border to Belarus and I was wondering if I can use the left lane as EU citizen? The left lane seemed to be only for the bus, but I see cars going there too. It would be a little bit faster.

Thanks

What was the Belarusian battle cry during the civil war 1917-22?

The white and soviet movement used "Ура!" The ukrainian movement used "Слава!"

Did Belarusians have their own battlecry?

Practical tips for travel in belarus as westerner?

I want to visit belarus for a few days during the temporary visa free regime, (I come from a country which doesn't exactly have ideal relations with rus/blrus). The plan is an overland crossing at Vilnius, or maybe Brest. I'd be really grateful if anyone could help with these questions:

Border crossing:

  1. People say if you take euros over the border they get confiscated by the EU. Is this true? Is there a limit? Are USD OK? What happens to your confiscated euros?

  2. People say your phone will probably be searched. I was planning to just buy a new smartphone a few weeks in advance, is this going to make things easier or be super suspicious?

  3. Is it true the EU confiscated everything you've purchased in belarus, so I can't bring back my €2 vodka, caviar etc.

  4. If/when I get "interviewed", will the guards speak any English or will it be 2 hours of getting yelled at in Russian.

  5. Is it true the crossing can take 24-48 hours.

  6. I have health insurance which covers all countries including belarus, but the papers are in English, German, French, Spanish, but not Russian. Problem?

  7. Any other border stuff i should know about for entry and exit? Does that registration thing apply if I am spending less than 10 days in belarus? People's personal experience very welcome.

General stuff:

  1. Where do I book hotels/hostels. Booking.com ain't working.

  2. Do ATMs and POS machines work with foreign cards? Are ATM fees high for foreigners?

  3. Will Google maps, yandex etc work or is everything jammed as hell

  4. Is it easy to get a local sim card? Or should I use an airalo ESIM.

  5. I speak chut chut Ruski, are people willing to help a feckless tourist and use Google translate, or am I screwed.

  6. I often hitchike if it makes sense, does that work in Belarus?

  7. For booking train and bus tickets, is there a good place to do that and anything to know in advance

  8. Any tips on things I should definitely visit appreciated

  9. Any things (aside from the obvious) i should not do to avoid problems?

Cheers guys! If anyone can answer one or two that would be nice. Also I know it's high risk, so you don't need to tell me "don't go it's dangerous". I've kinda gathered that.
