Does anybody know anything about transit visas for Belarus? I am travelling through on my way to moscow without stopping, but the Belarus Consular web page is not very clear and suggests I may need an invitation letter as well??? Any advice would be very helpful,
Cheers, Ben

You should definitely get a Belarus transit visa before you go on your journey. I think it costs something like $20 US. It can't be obtained at the border. If you want to avoid it, you can go through Baltic states (Poland -> Lithuania (Kaunas, NOT Vilnius) -> Latvia (Riga) -> Russia (Moscow)

Why do you say "NOT Vilinius"? Is this specifically in reference to the visa issue, or is there another reason for avoiding Vilnius?

Thanks
