How must treatment costs, living costs and insurance be demonstrated?

Belarusian law says medical care for temporarily residing foreigners is funded from their own resources, legal entities or other lawful sources, unless legislation or a treaty provides otherwise. The MFA generally requires health-insurance cover in Belarus for the temporary-residence period, with an insured amount of at least €10,000 and proof by policy, card or another insurance document; its page lists stated CIS, Russian and Turkmen treaty exemptions. The cited route rule does not set treatment-payment proof or a living-funds threshold.
