Kyrgyzstan and Belarus agree on simplified stay for citizens

Kyrgyzstan's government has given the green light to an intergovernmental agreement with Belarus that simplifies travel for their citizens. The Cabinet of Ministers approved the accord, which now awaits ratification by the Jogorku Kenesh, Kyrgyzstan's parliament.

The agreement, signed in Minsk on September 29, 2025, during a visit by Kyrgyzstan's Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev, allows citizens of either country to stay in the other for up to 30 calendar days without needing to register their place of stay. This measure aims to create a more welcoming environment for travelers.

Officials in Kyrgyzstan's cabinet stated that the ratification of this agreement will facilitate easier mutual travel. It is also expected to contribute positively to the development of trade, economic relations, and tourism between the two nations.

The agreement has already come into effect in Belarus, following a decree signed by President Alexander Lukashenko. The move signifies a step towards closer bilateral relations and easier movement for citizens between the two countries.
