Belarus/Ukraine transit visas

Dear Laura:

In 2001 I did exactly this: I received a transit visa to Belarus at 
the Belarusian embassy in Warsaw, and traveled from there by train to 
Moscow, and the same in reverse (stopping over in Brest and the 
surrounding area for about four days on the way back to Warsaw).

The procedure was quite straightforward; it entailed two trips to the 
Belarusian embassy, as I recall, with a day or so wait in between to 
allow time for the documents to be prepared. But there were no lines 
and no hassle (the visas didn't seem to be in great demand!).

Best wishes,
Alyssa Gillespie
