Key entry notes

  • The U.S. government advises its citizens not to visit Belarus due to the Belarusian authorities’ arbitrary enforcement of local laws, the risk of detention, the continued facilitation of Russia’s war against Ukraine, the potential of civil unrest, and the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens residing in or traveling to Belarus.
  • U.S. citizens in Belarus are advised to depart immediately.
