Begin Your New Life as an Expat in Belarus
Belarus is split into six administrative regions and the capital, Minsk, has special status. The city of Minsk is the most populous region in Belarus and where expats will find the country’s main sights such as the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater, the large Chizhovka Arena, hosting hockey, indoor sports, and concerts, and Pishchalauski Castle. Expats working in Belarus will find that few people speak English and so an attempt to learn Russian or Belarusian is essential. Belarus’ main industries include the manufacture of agricultural and energy products and particularly heavy machinery which is the country’s main export. Other sources of employment include trading goods, agriculture, manufacturing sales, and education.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Switzerland or India, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
Meet New Friends with InterNations Groups and Events
Our regular events allow you to meet, socialize, and network with fellow expats already living in Belarus to help get your social life off to a good start. Enjoy further opportunities to have fun together with InterNations Groups, where you can meet up with our members and share your interests. We understand how important it is to make new friends in your city and hope that, with InterNations, you feel fully prepared to enjoy your new life in Belarus.
