To secure employment in Belarus as a foreigner, adherence to the employer's requirements is paramount, often involving relevant education and experience in the field. The process typically involves obtaining various documents:
1) Work Permit: Essential for foreign residents, the employer initiates the application process, demonstrating the necessity of hiring a non-citizen for the position to the labor committee. Required documents include the employer's and employee's passport copies, proof of state tax payment, work permit application, and the employer's explanation.
2) Passport: A valid passport is necessary for identification and documentation purposes.
3) Power of Attorney: Provided by the employer, empowering the applicant to act on their behalf in certain legal matters related to employment.
4) Medical Certificate: A medical examination is usually required, facilitated by a referral from the employer, along with passport-sized photos and a passport.
5) Passport-sized Photos: Required for various official procedures, such as the medical examination and application submissions.
After obtaining the work permit, the employer must finalize an employment contract within 30 days, which is then submitted to the Citizenship and Migration Office. Once approved, the work permit is typically valid for up to one year. Following this, the applicant undergoes a medical examination as part of the immigration process.
