Living in Belarus: the ultimate expat guide
Everything you need to know for a successful life in Belarus.
Located in Central Europe, Belarus is conducive to expatriation. Although one third of its territory is covered by forest, it is deemed to be a promising country as several sectors are developing by laying emphasis on creativity. By moving to Belarus, you will also enjoy a low cost of living along with ancient traditions. Note that most of the population speaks Belarussian and Russian, but English is less common.
Inevitably, 20% of Belarus' total population lives in Minsk, a modern city that after the devastation during the World War II had to be rebuilt, almost from scratch. So, if you are looking to relocate for business, note that Minsk focuses on the industrial sector, and there's an opportunity for investment.
A referendum in 1995 has declared two official languages in Belarus -- Belarusian and Russian.
Leisure mainly revolves around nature, with over 40% of the country's land being a forest. Once there, indulge in the landscape of blue cornflower fields, dare to explore the thick forests, and enjoy the hospitality and warm welcoming you will receive from the charming residents of picturesque villages.
