In response to Belarus’s decision to stop issuing passports abroad, which effectively traps people in a documentation dead-end unless they return, Spain has issued a joint instruction confirming that expired Belarusian passports can be accepted for immigration procedures and for the issuance/delivery of the TIE. While this measure may appear «technical» on paper, it is actually a lifeline for mobility in practice.

The instruction is framed as exceptional and conditional, tied to the continuation of the underlying circumstances. For employers, that means two things: First, Spain is willing to adapt when documentation systems break. Second, the fastest way to lose that advantage is to treat it as a blanket rule without governance.

At Duguech & Dip, we help organizations transform exceptional measures into predictable outcomes by triaging impacted populations, aligning evidence strategies, and ensuring that HR and mobility teams won’t encounter «document impossibility» at renewal time.
