Foreigners coming to work in Belarus must submit their criminal records. Those who have special work permits will be restricted to one specific region or to Minsk. Additionally, recruitment agencies must report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These changes will also impact international students: some will find it easier to work in their field of study, while others may need a permit even for minor part-time jobs. Belsat has examined the new draft law to clarify its requirements and assess how they may affect Belarusians working abroad.
