Immigration Procedure
I visited Belarus in November 2015 with Turkish Airlines (Economy class Air Ticket), it was a short travel visit of 30 days because I love to explore world as a tourist. With Air Ticket of my national Turkish Airlines i enjoyed my journey throughout. On board services were quite excellent with helping staff. I genuinely like Belarus after visiting. Immigration procedure is quite convenient and supportive for new visitors. Though they deal strictly with restricted items drugs, chemicals, Weapons and other powdered form products. Belarus provides different type of visas with some rules and regulations according to your stay, Belarus doesn’t limit the foreign currency but you have to declare it on your entry. Good thing is that you can enjoy your visit with your pet also. But you need proper vaccination for pet other than you are not allowed to carry your pet with you. Near future i will book an Air Ticket of Belarus and visit it again.
Respect fpr students
As a British visitor I stayed in Belarus around 2 years on a scholarship visa granted by my university. It was a very good experience for me to live in Belarus and study with my fellows. Belarus people are very supportive and respect foreign students. I never feel that i am visitor in Belarus. During my 2 year visit i return to my country thrice and got easily Air Tickets with my student visa. I used every Transport service within Belarus like Train, Bus, Water etc all are well established and provides high quality services with economic charges. I also traveled with Air Ticket of Ruby Star Airlines (Economy class Air Ticket); they were quite good in serving passengers. On flight meal was delicious and fulfills health requirements. Due to their well offered visa policies people are coming more in Belarus to plan their future. Whenever I get another chance to visit Belarus I would love to do it again.
