You don\u2019t want to spend three days flying in and out of Minsk to do it. Good news \u2014 you don\u2019t have to. A properly drafted power of attorney lets a Belarusian representative handle the entire process. Submission, notarisation, state filings, certificate collection. The whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The catch is in the word \u201cproperly.\u201d Most of the foreign-founder cases we see stall on one of three things: a POA that\u2019s missing a key power, a translation done in the wrong country, or a legalisation step skipped because nobody flagged it. Each of those costs you two to three weeks. Sometimes more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article walks through what a Belarus-ready POA actually looks like \u2014 the four legal routes depending on where you\u2019re issuing it from, what powers to include, what trips people up, and how to extend it so the bank account doesn\u2019t become your next problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_power_of_attorney_actually_does\"><\/span><strong>What the power of attorney actually does<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A power of attorney is the legal mechanism that lets a named representative act in your place. For a Belarusian company registration, that representative is almost always your lawyer in Minsk. The POA gives them the authority to file the application, sign the charter on your behalf, deal with the notary, pay state fees, and receive the registration documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a valid POA, no one in Belarus can do any of this for you. The alternative is physical presence \u2014 you on a plane, at a notary in Minsk, signing documents in person. That works fine if you have a reason to visit anyway. If you don\u2019t, the POA is what makes the entire remote model possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two quick distinctions worth flagging. If your founder is an individual, the POA is issued by that individual personally. If the founder is a foreign company, the POA is issued by that company under whatever signing authority its home jurisdiction requires. We cover the broader registration process on our <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/news\/how-to-open-a-company-in-belarus-as-a-foreigner-step-by-step-guide\">step-by-step guide for foreign founders<\/a> \u2014 this article zooms into one piece of that puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/business-people-signing-contract-closeup-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/business-people-signing-contract-closeup-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/business-people-signing-contract-closeup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/business-people-signing-contract-closeup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/business-people-signing-contract-closeup-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/business-people-signing-contract-closeup-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_four_routes_your_POA_can_take_to_Belarus\"><\/span><strong>The four routes your POA can take to Belarus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which legalisation procedure your POA needs depends entirely on where you issue it. There are four practical paths, and the right one for you is fixed by your country of residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Route_1_Hague_Apostille_Convention_country\"><\/span><strong>Route 1: Hague Apostille Convention country<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Covers most of the world that foreign founders typically come from \u2014 the EU, the UK, the US, Switzerland, Israel, Japan, South Korea, and many more. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcch.net\/en\/instruments\/conventions\/specialised-sections\/apostille\">Hague Apostille Convention<\/a> gives you the fastest legalisation track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sequence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have the POA notarised at a local notary in your country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit the notarised POA to your country\u2019s designated apostille authority. In the US that\u2019s the Secretary of State of the relevant state; in the UK it\u2019s the Legalisation Office of the FCDO; in Germany it\u2019s the regional administrative court (Landgericht); each country has its own setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ship the apostilled document to Belarus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Minsk, the POA is translated into Russian (or Belarusian) by a licensed Belarusian translator, and the translator\u2019s signature is notarised here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That last step is non-negotiable. Foreign translations don\u2019t count, even if they\u2019re done by a sworn translator in your country. The translation has to happen in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Route_2_Country_with_a_bilateral_legal-assistance_treaty_with_Belarus\"><\/span><strong>Route 2: Country with a bilateral legal-assistance treaty with Belarus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia, most CIS countries, plus a list including China, Vietnam, Cuba, Serbia, and several others. These countries have bilateral treaties with Belarus that exempt their documents from apostille requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sequence is shorter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Notarise the POA locally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip the apostille step \u2014 the bilateral treaty replaces it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Translate and notarise in Belarus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the fastest of the four routes for foreign founders. If you\u2019re in Russia, Kazakhstan, or any other treaty country, you can usually have a ready-to-use POA in Belarus within a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Route_3_Consular_legalisation_the_slow_route\"><\/span><strong>Route 3: Consular legalisation (the slow route)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your country is in neither the Hague Convention nor on the bilateral-treaty list, you\u2019re looking at full consular legalisation. This means a chain of authentications: your local notary \u2192 your country\u2019s Foreign Ministry \u2192 the Belarusian consulate in your country (or the nearest one with jurisdiction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each step has its own queue and its own fees. Realistic timeline: three to four weeks just for the legalisation chain, before the document even arrives in Belarus. We see this most often with founders in some African and Pacific jurisdictions, and occasionally with older documents from countries that have since joined the Hague Convention but still have legalisation backlogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Route_4_Belarusian_consulate_abroad_the_underused_option\"><\/span><strong>Route 4: Belarusian consulate abroad (the underused option)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there\u2019s a Belarusian consulate accessible to you, you can have the POA issued directly at the consulate. It\u2019s drafted in Russian, executed in front of a Belarusian consul, and arrives in Belarus already in the correct legal form \u2014 no apostille, no legalisation, no translation needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The constraint is physical: you have to visit the consulate yourself. Belarus has consulates in most major capitals, but they\u2019re not everywhere. For founders located near one of these consulates, it\u2019s usually the cleanest and fastest option. People underestimate it because it\u2019s less talked about online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A list of Belarusian consular offices abroad is maintained by the <a href=\"https:\/\/mfa.gov.by\/en\/\">Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus<\/a>. Check whether one is reachable for you before defaulting to the apostille route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_reference\"><\/span><strong>Quick reference<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Route<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>When it applies<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Realistic timeline<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Apostille<\/td><td>EU, UK, US, most Western countries \u2014 Hague Convention members<\/td><td>5\u201310 business days end to end<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bilateral treaty<\/td><td>Russia, Kazakhstan, other CIS, China, Vietnam, Serbia, Cuba and others<\/td><td>3\u20137 business days end to end<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Consular legalisation<\/td><td>Countries with neither apostille nor bilateral treaty<\/td><td>15\u201325 business days end to end<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Belarusian consulate<\/td><td>Any country with an accessible Belarusian consulate<\/td><td>2\u20134 business days, once an appointment is booked<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_powers_to_include_%E2%80%94_and_what_people_forget\"><\/span><strong>What powers to include \u2014 and what people forget<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where most rejected POAs trip up. The drafter includes the obvious things \u2014 submission, signing the charter \u2014 and misses the half-dozen others that turn out to matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A proper Belarus-ready POA for company registration should authorise the representative to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sign the charter and any related founding documents on the founder\u2019s behalf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit the registration application to the registering authority (the local executive committee or, in some cases, via a Belarusian notary).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay state fees and any other registration charges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receive the registration certificate and other documents issued in the company\u2019s name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make corrections to the application or the founding documents if the registrar flags minor errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Order and collect the company seal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open a corporate bank account in Belarus on behalf of the company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply for an electronic digital signature (EDS) for the company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register the company with the tax authorities and the Social Protection Fund.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Act before notaries on all matters connected with the company\u2019s registration and initial setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no extra cost to include any of these. There\u2019s a substantial cost to leaving one out \u2014 you\u2019ll either need a new POA for the missing step, or you\u2019ll have to deal with that step in person. The bank account omission is the single most common mistake. Don\u2019t make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legal basis for representative authority sits in Articles 186\u2013190 of the Belarusian Civil Code, available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/pravo.by\/\">official national legal portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_translation_step_that_catches_people_off_guard\"><\/span><strong>The translation step that catches people off guard<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your POA arrives in Belarus \u2014 apostilled, legalised, or fresh from a Belarusian consulate \u2014 it still needs to be translated into Russian or Belarusian. Three things that surprise foreign founders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The translation must be done by a Belarusian licensed translator. Foreign-issued translations, even when prepared by sworn or certified translators in your country, are not accepted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The translator\u2019s signature must be notarised by a Belarusian notary. Foreign notarial certification of the translation does not work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This means your original document needs to physically reach Belarus before the translation can be done. Plan two to three business days for translation and notary work on top of whatever the legalisation route took.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your POA is drafted directly at a Belarusian consulate (Route 4), translation isn\u2019t needed \u2014 the document is issued in Russian by the consul. That alone often justifies choosing the consular route when it\u2019s available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_gets_POAs_rejected\"><\/span><strong>What gets POAs rejected<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After years of handling foreign-founder cases, the same handful of issues keep coming up. None of them are exotic. All of them are avoidable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Missing powers. Covered above. The bank-account omission is in the top three reasons for delay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The POA is too narrow. Some POAs authorise \u201cregistration of the company\u201d and stop there. That\u2019s not enough \u2014 you need each specific action spelled out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foreign translation used instead of Belarusian-licensed translation. Common with founders who try to save time by translating at home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apostille placed on the wrong page. The apostille has to certify the notary\u2019s signature on the POA \u2014 not the POA itself. This is a frequent error in countries where the apostille process isn\u2019t standardised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>POA expired between issuance and use. Most countries allow POAs to be issued for a fixed term. If your home country\u2019s default is six months and the apostille and shipping eat three weeks, you\u2019re working against a clock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The founder\u2019s ID document referenced in the POA doesn\u2019t match what\u2019s presented at registration. Passports get renewed. If you renew between issuing the POA and using it, you\u2019ll need a new POA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For corporate founders: the person who signed the POA didn\u2019t have authority to do so under the parent company\u2019s home jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions require board resolutions; signing by a director alone doesn\u2019t cut it. Worth checking before issuing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_post-registration_problem_nobody_tells_you_about\"><\/span><strong>The post-registration problem nobody tells you about<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the part most articles skip. Your POA gets the company registered, fine. Then you walk into the next phase \u2014 bank account opening, EDS application, tax setup \u2014 and discover that the POA you used for registration sometimes isn\u2019t enough, even if it covered those steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason is that bank account opening is an action of the company, not of the founder. The signatory is the company director. So even if your founder-issued POA authorised opening a bank account, the bank may also want a separate POA from the company itself, signed by the director. That second POA is much easier to issue once the company exists \u2014 but it\u2019s still an extra step you didn\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some banks go further and require the director to appear in person, regardless of what the POA says. This varies by bank. We cover it in detail on our <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/pages\/open-company-in-belarus\">main company opening page<\/a> \u2014 worth checking with your chosen bank before assuming a fully remote setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EDS \u2014 electronic digital signature \u2014 is similar. It\u2019s technically the company\u2019s, applied for through the National Center for Electronic Services. A POA covering its application has to be worded for that specific purpose. Founders frequently miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practical advice: draft the POA expansively. Include registration, banking, EDS, tax registration, seal, and post-registration corrections. The marginal effort is zero. The downside protection is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Imagine_Two_scenarios\"><\/span><strong>Imagine Two scenarios&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_A_%E2%80%94_the_German_founder_who_did_it_right\"><\/span><strong>Scenario A \u2014 the German founder who did it right<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Berlin-based IT entrepreneur planning a Belarusian LLC under the HTP regime. POA drafted in cooperation with our office, executed before a German notary, apostilled at the Berlin regional court, and shipped to Minsk by courier. Translated and notarised in Belarus over two business days. Registration submitted on day 8 from POA execution; company existed on day 9. Bank account opened on day 11 using the same POA. EDS issued on day 12. Total time from \u201clet\u2019s do this\u201d to a fully operational Belarusian company with a bank account: about three weeks. The founder never travelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_B_%E2%80%94_the_UAE_founder_who_didnt\"><\/span><strong>Scenario B \u2014 the UAE founder who didn\u2019t<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dubai-based founder, narrow POA covering only \u201cregistration of the company.\u201d Registration went through fine. Then the bank refused to open the account on the existing POA \u2014 it didn\u2019t name banking powers specifically. The founder had to issue a second POA, get it legalised through the UAE-to-Belarus consular channel, and ship it. That added almost four weeks. Total time from the start to a working bank account: just under seven weeks instead of two and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference between the two cases wasn\u2019t complexity. It was POA drafting at the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_costs\"><\/span><strong>What it costs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rough ranges, because every country prices its notarial and apostille services differently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Notarisation abroad: typically \u20ac30\u2013\u20ac80, depending on country and complexity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apostille: \u20ac20\u2013\u20ac100 in most Hague Convention countries; some run higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consular legalisation chain (where required): \u20ac100\u2013\u20ac300 in fees, plus shipping and time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>POA at a Belarusian consulate abroad: typically \u20ac40\u2013\u20ac80, depending on the consulate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Translation by a Belarusian licensed translator: roughly BYN 40\u201380 per page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Belarusian notary certification of the translator\u2019s signature: BYN 25\u201335.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Courier shipment of documents to Minsk: budget \u20ac40\u2013\u20ac80 for express delivery from most of Europe; more from further afield.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of these are large numbers individually. They add up to a real cost when you have to redo any of them. That\u2019s the entire argument for getting the POA right the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"hfaq\">\n    <div class=\"hfaq__container\">\n        <div class=\"hfaq__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t            <h2 class=\"hfaq__title title title-lg\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"hfaq__items\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Can a single POA cover several Belarusian companies?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Yes, but each company should be specifically identified in the POA \u2014 by intended name and, where possible, by founder details. Generic \u201cany future Belarusian company\u201d language doesn\u2019t hold up. If you\u2019re planning several entities, list them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">How long can the POA stay valid?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Under Belarusian Civil Code, a POA can be issued for any term or even indefinitely. But the country where you issue it imposes its own rules. Many Western jurisdictions cap notarised POAs at one to three years by default. If your home country has a shorter term, you may need to specify a longer term explicitly when drafting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Can I revoke the POA later?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Yes. Revocation has to be formal \u2014 usually a notarised statement of revocation, with notice to the representative. We typically draft the revocation procedure into the POA itself so there\u2019s no ambiguity. The representative is required to return the original POA on revocation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">My country isn\u2019t a Hague Convention member. What now?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Check the bilateral-treaty list first \u2014 Belarus has agreements with more countries than people realise, including non-Hague jurisdictions. If neither applies, consular legalisation is the path. It\u2019s slower but reliable. Alternatively, if you can travel to a country that does have apostille capability and is appropriate for your situation, that\u2019s a possibility too \u2014 but it usually adds more complexity than it removes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Can my Belarusian lawyer draft the POA for me to sign abroad?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Yes \u2014 and this is the recommended approach. The POA needs to comply with Belarusian requirements on its substance (powers, named representative, founder identification) and with your country\u2019s formal requirements (notary form, witness rules where applicable). The cleanest workflow is for the Belarusian lawyer to draft the substance, take it to a local notary for execution, and then handle apostille or legalisation from there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">What if I need to amend the POA later?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>You can issue an amendment with the same formal requirements as the original (notarisation, apostille or legalisation, translation), but in most cases it\u2019s simpler to issue a fresh, broader POA than to amend a narrow one. We usually recommend issuing the broadest reasonable POA at the outset for exactly this reason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <script>\n        document.querySelector( '.hfaq__items' ).addEventListener( 'click', function ( e ) {\n            if ( e.target.classList.contains( 'accordion__head' ) ) {\n                let root = e.target.closest( '.accordion' );\n                let body = e.target.nextElementSibling;\n\n                if ( body.style.maxHeight ) {\n                    body.style.maxHeight = null;\n                    root.classList.remove( 'accordion--expanded' );\n                }\n                else {\n                    body.style.maxHeight = body.scrollHeight + 'px';\n                    root.classList.add( 'accordion--expanded' );\n                }\n            }\n        } );\n\n        document.querySelectorAll( '.hfaq' ).forEach( node => node.querySelector( '.accordion__head' ).click() );\n    <\/script>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Doing_it_right_the_first_time\"><\/span><strong>Doing it right the first time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remote registration of a Belarusian company is a solved problem. The legal framework supports it. The procedural infrastructure \u2014 notaries, registrars, the EGR, the banks \u2014 all work with foreign-issued POAs as a matter of course. Tens of thousands of foreign-owned Belarusian companies exist because of this. None of their founders had to come here to set them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where it goes wrong is at the drafting stage. A POA that misses one of the powers above, or that takes the wrong legalisation route for the founder\u2019s country, or that gets translated in the wrong jurisdiction \u2014 any of those adds weeks. They\u2019re all preventable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want help getting it right from the start \u2014 including drafting a Belarus-ready POA in cooperation with you and your local notary \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/\">get in touch<\/a>.
