I plan to enter Russia with a Hong Kong passport as there is no Visa required.
I will take a plane from Moscow to Minsk and "Enter" Belarus with a Visa in my Canadian passport.
I plan to leave Belarus to Turkmenistan with a Canadian passport.
Has anyone tried this? Passport A with your Russia Entry requirements, Passport B with your Belarussian Entry requirements?
Thanks!
I would be prepared to explain this as they likely will look for the entrance stamp as you exit Belarus. I had to enter Russia on a different US Passport than the one I exited Mongolia on last year, and that caused quite a stir at the border.. Personally I would pay the visa fee as Belarus is from what I've as my gut feeling is that when they try to register you at a hotel without a record of an entry to Russia or Belarus this could become an issue.
Cheers
