Belarus has lifted restrictions on children’s recuperation in foreign countries with which Belarus has signed international agreements. There are no longer restrictions on the age and the number of entries. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko signed relevant Decree No. 59 on 28 January.

Before this document was signed, Belarusian children aged 7-18 could travel to the countries with which Belarus had signed international agreements before 1 October 2008, while the countries with which the agreements had been signed after 1 October 2008 could only receive children aged 7-14.

Apart from that, Belarusian children could not visit the same country more than three times, except for the states with which Belarus had signed international agreements before 1 October 2008.
