Do not travel to Belarus due to arbitrary detention risks, political repression, and extremely limited consular services.
Do not travel to Belarus. Travellers face significant risk of arbitrary arrest and detention, particularly those with dual citizenship or any history of political expression. Belarusian authorities do not recognise dual nationality and have prevented dual citizens from departing the country. Several nations have suspended or reduced embassy operations, severely limiting consular services. Detention conditions are extremely poor with credible reports of mistreatment. Electronic communications are monitored and can lead to arrest. Commercial flight options are severely limited and border crossings may close without notice.
