Belarus Work Visas: Hidden Costs and Agent Exploitation

International travel to Belarus raises concerns about agent fees and transparency. Many people from Nigeria seek work visas in Belarus, often relying on agents to arrange their travel and documentation. However, recent experiences have revealed issues with unexpected additional fees and the practice of sending travelers back if the full amount isn't paid upfront. One TikToker, Jayclara, shared her experience: "Come with your agents' complete money ok, if the price is not ok from day 1 go somewhere else." This highlights the lack of transparency and potential for exploitation. The use of round-trip tickets allows agents to easily return those who don't meet their financial obligations. This situation underscores the need for greater transparency and regulation in the international travel agent industry to protect consumers.
