Belarus to Russia Road Border Crossings...
I have all the necessary Belarus and Russia visas for a forthcoming trip. But I'm led to believe that there is not a "formal" border between Belarus and Russia in some places...
Apparently Russians and Belarus citizens can go back and forth with ease and no border checks.
Quite whether this means the borders crossings are unmanned as some are in Europe - I'm not sure..?
It may seem strange that someone wants to seek out "Border Burocracy" but to ensure an alien like me (UK citizen) is "right and proper" in Russia I need to ensure I correctly exit Belarus and correctly enter Russia as far as immigration and customs people are concerned.
I'm leaving Belarus via the M10 from Gomel (Homel) which becomes the M13 to Oryl in Russia.
While Belarus citizens don't have to go through any paperwork formalities, does anyone happen to know if there are offices at that border where someone like a UK citizen can do what's necessary to get the correct stamps etc ?
Or do I need to find another crossing ? If so which one ?
Thanks in advance
Simon
