Republic of Poland
IMPORTANT! The Republic of Poland is extending border controls at all its land borders with the Republic of Lithuania until April 4, 2026. Crossing the relevant border checkpoints requires a valid identity document (international passport or ID card).
IMPORTANT: By a Resolution of the Council of Ministers of October 31, 2025, the Republic of Belarus decided to impose a ban until December 31, 2027, on the movement of trucks from the EU, trailers (semi-trailers) from Poland and Lithuania, as well as Polish vehicles engaged in international transport of goods on its territory.
Under the special restrictive measures adopted, the following vehicles are not allowed to operate on the territory of Belarus:
— Trucks and tractors with trailers registered in EU Member States;
— Trailers (semi-trailers) registered in Poland and Lithuania;
— Light vehicles registered in Poland and carrying out international transport under individual consignment notes or international consignment notes (CMR).
Violation of the ban by drivers will be considered as international road transport through the territory of Belarus without a permit and will result in liability in accordance with the legislation on administrative offenses.
All vehicles subject to the ban and currently located in Belarus should be moved to specialised areas designated by the Council of Ministers and specified in the decree at the following link: https://pravo.by/document/?guid=12551&p0=C22500599
The ban will not apply if the vehicle is transporting certain categories of goods, including postal items, humanitarian aid, live animals, medical products, raw materials for the manufacture of veterinary medicines, blood, human organs, tissues, etc.
Empty vehicles and trailers (semi-trailers) returning to the European Union after transporting goods are also exempt from the ban.
IMPORTANT! Germany will introduce temporary controls at all its land borders, which are expected to last for one year. Crossing the country's border checkpoints with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France requires a valid identity document (international passport or ID card).
