| Oct 12, 2016 at 19:01 | comment | added | Suncatcher | @ScottK, you are wrong saying "Belarusian transit visa is always required". The resolution given in my answer clearly states that it is not. The same 24h gap is true for Belarus as well. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 18:43 | comment | added | Scott K | For transiting thru Belarus or Russia: Belarusian transit visa is always required. Russian transit visa is not required if staying in airport's international area for 24 hours without going through passport control. If staying longer than 24 hours then Russian transit visa is required. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 18:24 | comment | added | Suncatcher | Yes, it feels somewhat accurate and represents the meaning quite well. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 18:02 | comment | added | Scott K | I agree. I rather wait to see how they interpret this rule and they need to clarify about foreigners in Russia visiting Belarus as they have not left the union. I imagine many foreigners decided to visit Russia without obtaining Russian visa when they entered Belarus from abroad. | |

| Oct 12, 2016 at 17:33 | comment | added | Scott K | There is no border checks at Minsk airport for domestic flights from Russia but I always have Belarusian visa before I visit. I know this since I've flown to Minsk from Moscow before. They do have random checks for arrivals in Minsk airport but not always. I never seen random checks in Moscow (Domodedovo) airport. | |
