- Passport validity
- The checked Belarus MFA visa-free rule requires a valid ordinary passport or accepted travel document but does not publish one universal numeric validity buffer or blank-page minimum for this waiver. Confirm route-specific carrier handling.

- Transit
- airside transit: conditional; landside transit: conditional; Belarus MFA permits visa-free international airport transfer when the passenger remains in the designated transit zone, holds onward-entry documents and a confirmed onward ticket, and departs within 24 hours. Clearing border control follows this route’s visa or waiver rule; Belarus-Russia routings require separate confirmation.

Why this verdict
Ukrainian citizens are kept as conditional rather than ordinary visa-free because the Belarus-Ukraine route has security and wartime caveats that can dominate the formal visa rule. This guidance is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, airline routing, registration rules, Russia-route restrictions and border checks can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
