It is compulsory to have a personal insurance for medical assistance and against injuries. The insurance certificate must be stipulated with one of the insurance companies authorised by the Biélorussieian Government.
No vaccination is required, although it is useful to remind that the territory of Biélorussie is still suffering the consequences of Chernobyl nuclear disaster, therefore use the utmost care in consuming agricultural products and mushrooms, to avoid risks of contamination.
As for general safety, pay utmost care when travelling around and be careful to robberies and thefts.
Do not trespass the so called “exclusion zone” ( corresponding to the provinces of Braghin and Khojniki in the south of the Country, in proximity of the Chernobyl plant) and avoid the regions of Gomrl, Mogilev and Luninets (Brest).
