Second passport options for Belarus citizens
Belarus does not permit dual citizenship.
Routes that grant a second citizenship generally require giving up your Belarus passport. Residence-first programs and Overseas Citizen equivalents (where they exist) are often the realistic lane — not headline citizenship ads.
Eligible pathways (generic ranking)
Ranked for a Belarusian passport holder with no personal budget or no personal budget or timeline assumed. Investment citizenship programs that conflict with keeping your current citizenship are excluded.
