UK FCDO Advises Against All Travel to Belarus

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office updated its Belarus travel advice, continuing to advise against all travel due to a significant risk of arrest for activity now considered illegal by the Belarusian regime and a low risk that conflict linked to the war in Ukraine may spread to Belarus.
