Tips from experienced travelers

To avoid losing money and nerves, follow these simple rules:

  • Book the queue no earlier than 2–3 weeks before your trip – this reduces the risk of plans changing
  • Keep all receipts and contracts – without them a refund is impossible
  • Set a calendar reminder 3 days before the end of the 30‑day period
  • Check your documents in advance – passport, “Green Card” insurance, visa (if required)
  • Arrive at the waiting zone early – at least 30 minutes before your time
  • If your plans change – submit a refund request immediately, don’t wait until the last day

What to do in disputed situations?

If you find yourself in a difficult situation (for example, you fall ill or are involved in a traffic accident), immediately contact the support service at belarusianborder.com. Although the rules are strict, exceptions may be made in exceptional cases.
