How can a foreigner get employed in Belarus?<\/p>\n
All categories of foreigners \u2013 whether they hold a permanent residence permit (PRP), a\u00a0temporary residence permit or are staying in Belarus temporarily \u2013 may be employed\u00a0in Belarus.<\/p>\n

Such\u00a0a document may be a valid national passport or a different document allowing the person to travel\u00a0abroad (for instance, a passport for traveling abroad).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n employment record book; document certifying education or studies, confirming your right to do a particular type of\u00a0work (mandatory);Documents needed<\/h3>\n

\nIf a foreigner is getting employed in Belarus for the first time, his\/her employer must issue their\u00a0employment record book.
\nIf you have an employment record book issued in your state, you may provide it to your\u00a0employer but it will only be necessary to get information on your working experience. The\u00a0employer would still issue your employment record book in the official form appropriate for use\u00a0in Belarus.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nWhen getting employed for a position requiring special qualifications, a foreigner, like any other\u00a0candidate, must confirm that he\/she has the qualifications or education required (for instance, by\u00a0providing a diploma on finishing the university). If you have the required document that was not\u00a0issued in Belarus, you would have to get a certificate on the document\u2019s recognition and\u00a0equivalence (conformity) to a Belarusian diploma. Such certificates are issued by the Ministry of\u00a0Education of the Republic of Belarus on the basis of the expert opinion of State educational\u00a0entity \u201cRepublican higher education institute\u201d.<\/p>\n
