How much does it cost to live in Minsk, Belarus?

- In this video I break down the approximate costs of living here in #Minsk #Belarus. Disclaimer: These figures are not exact but they gave you a rough idea of what to expect if you decide to relocate here by yourself, if you are renting and you depend on public transport to get around. I don't include fuel costs if you have a car. Of course costs can depend on your circumstances and lifestyle and may vary.
Sidenotes: If your flat is non BY owned, heating alone (communal heating gas) can be as much as $40. In the final part dealing with communal bills (communal heating gas) is included and not to be confused with Gas for cooking. It's totally different.
![TRAVELLING ALONE IN BELARUS - What is Minsk really like? [Ep. 1] 🇧🇾](/img/n.gif)
Most people in Bialorus makes $300-350 a month. Young doctors right after medical school…$250 a month
Great itemized list of expenses! Thank you!
Haha! I remember those old phones. Love it (and the fuel bills)
Great short video 👍🏼
Very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
great vid Partizan. I only know Brest- rent, utilities, public transport and anything public run (museums, sports facilities) are really cheap. Anything private (bars, restaurants, sports clubs) and big hypermarkets are roughly the same as western Europe. Service oriented stuff is also pretty cheap- repairs on cars, shoes, watches etc. For food a stolovaya provides eat out dining at a fraction of the cost of other restaurants and tastes excellent although they are not 'fancy' but cool experience if you are from the west.
Thanks for video❤️👍
super interesting ,thanks
Miss U Man! Can't wait for a New Video in a Suburban Town!!
The only problem is ... i checked Minsk job vacancies for engineers and max Salary was around 1200 USD(around 1000 vacancies), while IT sysAdmin has same and PHP coder 3000 USD (single vacancy).
I think Belarus missed whole concept of engineering.
Make me so sad to see that there is no real work for electronic engineers like myself. Job for them literly was alike "repair stuff", like hold up - wait a minute, engineer to "repair you stuff"?
Oh and i almost forget, tons of vacancies to be a truck driver for around same 3000 USD. Pretty obvious who you wanna be there when you grow up. *Breathtaking perspective*
In Belarus more men work for salary near 400-500 euros and low...i live and work in Belarus..
electronic engineers are money for old rope imo
@@elzagluck1035 can you rent an apartment and spend on groceries with that?
Perfect
stay safe over there
Irish Partizan, the soccer commentator! Nice! I am following the WC and enjoying it....glad to hear the population of Belarus can have fun while watching some great soccer! Thanks for all the info....great stuff! Greetings from Vancouver!
Hi you was in Silichi its ski resort winter near Minsk? I recommend that for you!
Need to know average wage to compare with cost of living please

Most importantly. How much is a pint in a decent bar???
I pay for live in my flat near 35-40 euros in month in winter. Its pay communal services electric power light, heat water heat and cold,etc...pay for internet and phone 20 euros in month..mobile internet i pay near 20-25 euros..and low..
@@horacephistbump4867 pinta good bear in bar or pub pay 2-4 euros.. maybe 5-7 euros in expensive bar or pub in Minsk
@@elzagluck1035 it’s hard even for a local to say where you can find a pint for more than 5 euros
@@elzagluck1035 In Stockholm you can get a cheap beer for 5 Euro. Happy hours, weekdays before 18.00, even for 3. Normal is 7-8. Artinisal beers are usually around 9.
Better than the US. Thanks!
We all need food... That's very VERY important...
Incredible prices.
I've got 3 Belarusian Families in my block inhere in Poland :) 3 that i know. They rather well doing, decent cars, at least. With utility bills they have to pay, around 700-800$. No less
good work
Once upon a time I wanted to travel to Belarus. Now the world has changed.
Same. I always wanted to go to Russia and Belarus but might leave it another couple of years I think!
Приезжайте! У нас в Беларуси замечательно! 🙂 вам обязательно понравится.
@@devanman7920 please do not put Russia on the same ground as Belarus.
@@paulzavadski1565 well like there's similarities. Most likely Belarus will enter Ukraine sometime next year.
News intoxication maybe? 😂🐑🐑🐑
The property tax in Ireland, is our council tax.
Greetings from an Irishman in Bulgaria.
Interesting. Utility bill never fails to make me smile ffs. All in all, extremely reasonable.
How is Belarus for living with family sir
Isn't the average salary like 300 a month though?
It's four of us living less than U said!))
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Can you please tell me an agency to get a long time visa for Belarus? I would like to stay one year
I remember your winds of change video, dont know how you're still allowed to live there? Did the authorities get alerted to the video? Hmmmm :/
33 euro for bag of 40 kg coal in donegal
Good video.
Last month I pay my communal $30 same as you.
Cheers Tito. I watch your content as well.
will cost an electricity connection soon
So his full bill for a months electricity and gas was 8 dollars? Thats mad! How much is a pint there?
No, that's gas for cooking. Communal payments section includes communal heating (gas) and that is much higher. See the video description where I clarify this.
@@IrishPartizan oh sorry! I was thinking it was a bit too cheap 😅
Hope all is well in Minsk. We need Ireland and N. Ireland in the World Cup.
Hi! Is there any website to get a job in Belarus?
Which are the chances for foreigners with languages (portuguese, spanish and english)? Customer service representative or Sales representative experienced.

@@IrishPartizan Thanks bro 👌Nice sweatshirt btw ✌
@@IrishPartizan I think I can't aply due the fact that this website asks for a belarussian phone number to get registered. 🙄 A pity 'cause I found 4 ou 5 jobs offers...
Love your ideas! Are you located in Minsk? Let’s go watch some football together!
Is that a Portugal sweater? Cheers! I am from Portugal and thinking of relocating to Belarus in the near future. Maybe we will meet up and drink a Guinness together! 🍻🇵🇹 🇮🇪 🇧🇾
why?
Is it dangerous to live there right now if you are an American?
Hi, Plz I need ur reply & advice!
I am thinking to buy an apartment in Minsk & someone told me it's better if i wait bcoz the prices coming down soon & I might buy for cheaper prices!
My question; what do you think are the apartments price stable or coming down or going up now in Minsk in 2023?
Tnkx for ur honest response
Andrei Burdenkov is the go to person for these matters.
@@IrishPartizan wt does that mean in English
Do tell …. Why or who wants a change in Belarus 🇧🇾???
Sounds like more that 1100 usd. How about clothes , cleaning detergents , toothpaste, and Health insurance? what visa are you on ?
So, how easy is it to get a permanent resident visa?
You have to live in Belarus for a continous period of 5 years to get it. Google is your friend.
I don't get it, they make around 300$ p/m and they spend around 700$ per person? ;D
Dang as a 100% service connected u.s veteran id live like a king in Belarus compared to living im my current state of Florida.
Wages?????
I wonder how much is an average salary in Belarus?
1637 rubles = 648,56 USD (Official average salary in September 2022)
Can't live on Niall's figures!
@@davidknox5929 yep but there is 90% at least of natives with one house in city, sometimes more, many with Dacha(outside city agricultural mini farmish house where people grow their veggies). There was a Privatisation Law around 25 years ago, people almost for free extended their rights on holded property.(back then house cost 5 grand, Dacha 0.5 grand)
I am personally dont know people that go out as much as in West, certainly not people that have mid-wage.
So no rent costs, less parties and you are good. But it actually surprised me a little that overall communal costs are about 60$ while pension is around 100$. Rough to be elder in city.
@@annaromanova5083 Anyway, with those low wages, life’s not easy. I’m sure! I am still very impressed with the low price of electricity and gas. Thanks for your comment!
@@ebeb9156 That’s very interesting, thank you! So instead of puplic property, citizens became owners of their own houses! Cool!
Smart move to live in cheap, safe and clean location while earning USD/EUR. Plus gorgeous girls :)
I own several *gov* phones
I guess you told about country for life ))))
The huge crowd children in Hungary booed the players taking the knee 🙂
Just watches video about Dublin!))
I miss Dublin......not.
@@IrishPartizan I don't even go through Dublin when I go back to Ireland for a holiday anymore.
Hey Irish partizan 🍻
Virtue signaling is I will NOT watch the World Cup. Thanks for the info, all the best.
Cheap to live, working wage is another thing and all you need to give up is freedom. Don't get me wrong, every country has it's draw backs, no country is perfect, but If I want to call out the government, I can without being worried about little men showing up at night. You probably have better medical coverage, which as we get older is something we need and your crime rate is probably low as well, so it's apples and apples. Cheers and stay safe - Winter is coming.
Useless privilege to "call out your gov". For me it sounds like another excuse
For get medical services and treatment in Hospital in Belarus no need medical insurance..it free,for citizens of Belarus and Russia...
Your talking from a Country that until very recently you could not leave ,without having an experimental liquid put in your veins .Thats changed my view on Canada for ever .
In Canada it's a crime to call a trans 'woman' he. Muh freedoms
Why would you worry about little men showing up at night unless you are doing something illegal? I am sure you are much safer in the US cities..... LOL.
as a german i'm still ashamed of the behavior of this team, i don't identify with it in any way, Regards to u in Minsk Belarus ⛄️
I was glad that he called out the virtue signaling here. It's good that more and more people are laughing at it.
1:46 I knew you were going to take a shot at the democratic Baltic States. Of course autocratic states can artificially control inflation especially when they have a big bad bear as a neighbour helping them out. 🙂
Oh yay... imagine living in a country run by General Tapioca out of Tintin..Looks like suuuuuch a lovely place and all..
Clean streets, cheap cost of living, no crime. Prefer it to the UK.
@@inputimmersion9577 Yes much cleaner than the decadent high wage countries , with a much more effective secret police force that will imprison you for disagreeing with the boss , the real boss vlad putin the dictator of the Russian Empire.
@@kangaroowatcher8609 I'm not interesting in airing my political opinion so i'm not bothered by that.
You will be fined, punished, cancelled and maybe imprisoned here in the UK if you disagree with woke leftism.
If i go into my job today and say i don't think men who take hormones and call themselves women are actually women, i would get sacked straight away and would never get a reference from them, ruining my career.
Pick your poison. I prefer a government that leaves me alone as long as i don't play politics but where i'm allowed to voice the nature of reality without the fear of punishment.
@@peter-xw1mu Well if you'd prefer to have material goods and be forced to bend reality at every turn that's your prerogative. I personally don't want my kids growing up being indoctrinated into woke leftism. In one generation they've made it 'normal' here. Pretty soon we'll be like Canada where not using 'preferred pronouns' will be considered a crime.
I don't want to live in a place like that.
Who is realistically gona wanna learn a whole new slavic type language tho?? Feels too much like school!
If you don't mind saying what is your salary roughly?
There is 3 big No No in this world:
1. Dont ask a woman how old is she
2. Dont ask a man what is his salary
3. Dont ask an Argentinian what SS rank his grandfather is
@@ebeb9156 Not really, in Scandinavia everyone knows what everyone else earns, it's public record. In the UK everyone discusses their salary. He's free to tell me or tell me it's none of my business, both are fine. I'm just wondering because even double the average salary makes for tight living and he's just one person. What about me for instance, with a wife and 3 kids? Based on this i need to earn like $3k a month in Belarus which isn't possible.
$300-350 a month
@@polairstream Nah his will be more than that since he spends more than that.
@@inputimmersion9577 I have family in Bialorus and they don’t have to tell fairytale story on internet to have right to stay in the country
Now why would the younger generation want anything to change? Education seems good. Food seems yummy and cheap. Housing, WiFi, utilities etc … all seem cheap. One of the safest countries on the planet.
Bit grim innit..
Western propaganda works very well. It has always been so.
@user-zm8zq9kk5i This is how young people mostly think, who do not understand anything at all and look too superficially.
@user-zm8zq9kk5i That’s because the collective is not all that. We like our women to be women. Here in USA 🇺🇸 they try and be men.
@user-zm8zq9kk5i Our borders are overrun with illegals from over 160 countries, human trafficking, fentanyl overdoses have become the norm. I personally knew people that it killed and I keeps on killing. The West has fallen. Believe me. If President Lukashenko is removed from office Belarus will become non existent. Pray 🙏 🤲 these young people wake up and stay the course
And I thought he was a liberal. Lmfao 🤣 😂 🤪 🤡. Love this guy
1000$ per month is very ordinary life without much comfort in Minsk.
I obviously don’t know what your background/lifestyle is but I lead a very comfortable life getting $1000 in Minsk just a year ago - rented a room for $150, didn’t limit my food shopping, got food deliveries/used taxis and still managed to save for travelling
Lol, you mean Gen Z
Costs of living is only half the story, the other half is how much you earn. Some countries keep costs of living down and wages down. Neoliberalism is more of a “let it rip approach”. Neoliberal countries are manufacturing less and less, at what cost?
I wonder how many people are moving from eu to belarus. Like one a half probably lol
How to get girls in Belarus
Bobs and vergana.
There are only 3 cheaper things in Minsk compering with the west.
1. Fuel ⛽
2. Vodka 🍸
3. Cigarettes
..and number 4 ..salaries..
5. Women
@@reeyees50 no way. They are more expensive
Glad the Maga hat is no longer there.
It's in the washing machine 😁
I understand that 99 % of men who move to Russia or Belarus is to find the beautiful + feminine + sexual women which practically don't exist in the West, so we should add the cost of that too.
In my case I would spend much more on that than the 250 usd that you say is the average money that people (I understand expats) spend in pubs, restaurants, clubs.
I'm thinking about spending long periods in Russia or Belarus 3 + 3 months per year if possible, but it has become quite complicated now....
