The Government of Belarus has decided to waive arrival visa fees for Sri Lankan students travelling to the country for the first time to pursue higher education.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the decision was made following an official visit to Belarus by Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism Minister Vijitha Herath in May this year.
The Ministry further stated that steps have also been initiated to simplify the visa application process for family members of Sri Lankan students studying in Belarus who wish to visit the country.
These measures are expected to provide relief to Sri Lankan students seeking higher education in Belarus, as well as their families.
