After all, we are all used to the fact that we can afford to live in abundance and enjoy all the beauties of life. Now we will analyze as much pluses as possible if you are not a resident of the country.

Citizenship of Belarus

In accordance with the Law “On Citizenship of the Republic of Belarus” dated August 1, 2002, anyone over the age of 18 who has lived in the territory of the Republic of Belarus for 7 years continuously after receiving a permit for permanent residence in the Republic of Belarus is entitled to citizenship.

Residence permit in Belarus

If you have plans to stay in Belarus for more than 90 days, then it's time to apply for a temporary residence permit.

Permission is made within 15 days, but if you get TRP in connection with marriage, then a little longer - within 30 days. They say that in some cases it can be issued even on the same day. A permit is a small insert in your passport with which you usually travel abroad. Typically, a permit is issued for no more than a year, and if you still have reasons, you can renew it for another year.

It should be remembered that you can lose TRP almost as quickly as you can get it, so you should carefully consider all the rules of living on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

Permanent residence in Belarus

A residence permit is comparable to a Belarusian passport, since with it you get the same rights as a citizen of the country (you have the right to free medical services, free education, the right to receive benefits and pension), excluding small nuances (you do not have voting rights and the right to be elected. Also this does not give you the right to work in the civil service and acquire land ownership).

The first residence permit is usually issued for 2 years. In the future if you still have reasons, you can extend it for another 5 years.

But again, you can lose your residence permit if you do not follow the rules and laws.
