Please note that while there is no border control between Belarus and Russia Belarusian transit visa is still required for foreigners when transiting through the country from Russia to Poland, or vice versa. You can't get a visa at the border.
If you go from Belarus to Russia make sure that you always keep your Belarusian migration card. The border is open, there is most likely no control and this means, that you will not recieve a Immigration card or an Entry stamp from Russia. Due to the Customs union between the countries, your card from Belarus also counts in Russia and in case you lose it you will find yourself in unfriendly situation.

'''=== With [[RussiaUkraine]]:'''<br>There are no official bordercrossings between Belarus and Russia. It is not a good idea though to cross the border without the right visa! ===
'''With [[Ukraine]]:'''<br>When coming from [[Kyiv]] you'll probably cross the border *[[Skytok-Novaja Huta border crossing]]. It is possible to walk across this border but it will take a while as they search all your stuff on the Ukrainian side. After the Ukrainian border police there is approx. 1 km of No Man's land after which you'll reach the Belarusian side. Make sure you have a visa if you need one! Very little English is spoken. The road after the border goes straight to , near [[HomielGomel]]

After you've done all this, someone working in the office will stamp your migration card. You need a migration card to be stamped to show it at the border while leaving the country. So '''be sure to have this card ''and have it stamped'', too'''. If you did not do it, you and your host can get in trouble.

Варшаўскі мост, rus. Варшавский мост) – the biggest crossing point located on [[E30]] near [[Brest (Belarus)|Brest]]. Crossing is possible only in a vehicle. Opposite to what you could guess, the crossing is hassle free and the police not more unfriendly than elsewhere. Prepare yourself for long waiting time, if there is a lot of traffic, even very long waiting time. Even when there are just two or three cars in front of you, you can find yourself waiting for several hours.
