Belarus software experts fleeing the country

Welcomed by their neighbours

Life is getting so rubbish in Belarus that software developers are fleeing the country and being welcomed in neighbouring countries.

Neighbouring countries from Ukraine to the Baltics have rolled out the welcome mat for people and are wooing companies to relocate with fast-track immigration procedures, tax breaks and help finding office space.

Poland, for example, has set up a 24-hour hotline and offered fast visas, Polish language classes for children and funding for start-ups.

Some Belarusian tech firms are transferring employees abroad or looking to move out altogether, saying a crackdown on protests made employees feel unsafe and internet blackouts disrupted business.
