Driving in Belarus with a foreign licence
Bring an IDP
Rental desks and local authorities in Belarus commonly ask foreign drivers to carry an IDP alongside their national licence. Belarus drives on the right under the 1968 Vienna Convention; an IDP is expected because domestic licences and road signs use Cyrillic.
