Visa Free travel to Belarus
Hello,
Can anyone confirm Visa free travel is only up to maximum 5 days for Canada / USA citizens?? And only through Minsk airport.
Day 1: Arrival.
Day 5: Departure.
That is what I found out from the Belarus consulate website.
Any information will be appreciated.
Spasibo.
Ciao.

[QUOTE=Jojosun;2023754]No trouble whatsoever as I really enjoy prior research and following the recent trends and sources for our hobby.
If I were you, I would obviously think first of a nice hotel with on-site upmarket Nightclub with a sexy atmosphere. Following an easy romantic dinner in or out, a few slow dances and you should be able to gauge her mood, response and interest. I always go for Hotels with Nightclubs on site in EE countries as its still a legacy from the olden days and its still popular with women late 20's / mid 30's.
Is Italy her desired holiday destination still on your Plan?
Re traditional entertainment?? It depends on how long you're there for and what you're looking for as best entertainment is Thursday through / Saturday but hoes are always around to be found at Hotel Bars, Clubs. . Hotel Planenta and Hotel Yubileiny to name few but the quality isn't that great.
To give you an idea here's a link on places. [URL]http://www.wikisexguide.com/wiki/Minsk[/URL]#Brothels_and_Sex_Clubs.

I have just returned from Minsk having spent the perfect weekend with the truly perfect lady. She may be in her 30's but she is drop dead gorgeous (she was a former Miss Belarus finalist) and the sweetest person I have ever met. I will never discuss details but suffice as to say I have fallen in love.
What follows is not really a Monger's tale but as there is such a dearth of information on this thread I shall nevertheless share what information I gleaned whilst being happily married in Minsk.
First off you do not need a visa if you fly to Minsk and are only staying for 5 days. You do need insurance but it cost $4 and can be bought on arrival. You do need to say where you're staying on your immigration card so just book a decent hotel in advance it's really not that expensive.
Second Minsk has to be the safest capital in Europe. I lost my phone on arrival and on reporting the fact to my hotel reception they immediately said: "don't worry, no one would steal from the airport" (there are upsides to the old CCCP) and sure enough they made a call and my phone was ready for collection when I departed.
Thirdly Minsk is the cleanest and quietest city I've ever been to. No (I mean no) rubbish, few policeman and in fact few people. It is a laid back sleepy place where everyone seems to be incredibly polite and helpful. Granted my girlfriend is Belarusian but even so everybody seemed happy to help. The only exception are passport control who stare at your passport like some scene from the Great Escape.
Fourth there is an innocence about the place. You don't get frisked in nightclubs. There's no long queue outside with menacing bouncers. There are no ostentatious displays of wealth by the local oligarchs or indeed Turks. Most of the people you'll meet are young Belarusians on a night out.
The girls also seemed younger and just more innocent than in Kiev. None of the Devushkas you'll see in Ukraine.
Went to Rich Cat (30 rubles entrance and similar price for a cocktail) which was literally heaving with girls, very few of them looked like pros or semi pros but I'm sure some of them could have been bought a drink. The place is hugely entertaining: they even set light to the bar.
Also went to the nightclub at DoubleTree by Hilton. Spent $100 dollars on champagne in order to secure a table with a great view of the Minsk skyline. The place was heaving, again almost no security or face control. Seemed to be a slightly older crowd and largely made up of parties / tables of Belarusians and a few foreigners. Here I definitely got the look from a few girls despite having a former supermodel on my arm. The girls seemed in general to be a bit more sophisticated. They had a great live band if you're interested in that sort of thing.
Dined at the Grand Cafe which is truly chic and has prices to match but I did not get the impression there were any girls there. However if you've got the cash it has to be the ultimate seduction joint.
So do I prefer Minsk over Kiev? Well yes but I'm not sure how easy it is to get laid there if you haven't made plans in advance. I will of course return in fact I could see myself getting married there.
