Blogger Names Three Reasons Why Russians Are Massively Obtaining Belarusian Residence Permits
After obtaining a Belarusian document, many Russians continue to live in Russia.
Why do Russians need a Belarusian Residence Permit?
Blogger Hanna Myazhonak shares in a video why many Russians have started obtaining residence permits in Belarus.
The first is savings when buying a car. "Three to four million [Russian rubles] ($36-49 thousand — NN) on a car purchase, you know, don't grow on trees," she says, explaining that the difference arises because Belarus does not have such recycling fees.
"If you have a Belarusian residence permit, you can freely drive a car with Belarusian license plates in Russia. Absolutely without any problems," she says.
Earlier, "Nasha Niva" wrote in detail about Russians obtaining Belarusian documents to buy cars.
Studying at Universities
The second reason why Russians are massively obtaining Belarusian documents, according to the blogger, is children.
"We all need to educate our children, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to enter universities in Russia. We have one thing then another, so Russian young people easily study at Belarusian universities because there is no language barrier," she explains.
Instagram and Visa
The third reason turned out to be far less obvious. According to the blogger, thanks to a Belarusian residence permit, one can remove social media accounts from Russian jurisdiction.
"That's why everyone rushed here," the blogger summarizes.
In other publications, she also noted that with Belarusian documents, one can get a Visa card at a Belarusian bank.
