Tajik citizens urged not to travel to Belarus

Tajik migrants who have been deported from Russia or have a ban on entry are advised not to enter Belarus.

The Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan in the Republic of Belarus stated in its announcement that those who have previously been deported or have received a ban on entry to the Russian Federation may face restrictions on entry to Belarus.

“As part of the interaction and information exchange between the competent authorities of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, decisions made by the Russian authorities regarding individuals, including those related to entry bans or deportations, may also be used by the Belarusian side,” the statement said.

In this regard, citizens of Tajikistan who have previously faced similar restrictions in Russia are urged to refrain from traveling to Belarus.

The embassy also recommended checking for possible entry restrictions to Belarus before planning a trip to the country.

This comes against the backdrop of over a year during which migrants, especially Tajik migrants in Russia, have faced numerous difficulties. They have been subjected to multiple restrictions on work and residence in Russia. In particular, deportations and entry bans for Tajik migrants in Russia have forced many of them to seek work in other countries.
