Alexander Lukashenko has extended visa-free travel to Belarus for citizens of 38 European countries until December 31, 2026.
"The conditions of visa-free travel remain the same. Citizens of these countries can cross the state border of Belarus through all international checkpoints by road and rail, using valid documents for traveling abroad. The period of stay in Belarus is no more than 30 days from the date of entry, while for citizens of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and persons with the status of non-citizens of Latvia - no more than 90 days," reports the press service of Lukashenko.
