Starting 2017 Belarusian visas will become cheaper for Europeans. The information was confirmed by the spokesman of the Foreign Ministry Dmitry Mironchik, TUT.BY reports on Friday.
Full details will be announced next week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
“Indeed, some types of Belarusian visas will become much cheaper for citizens of certain countries of the EU”, Dmitry Mironchik stated.
At present the cost of 1-year Belarusian visa for Europeans is 150 euros. According to Radio Svaboda, next year it will cost 60 euros – as much as a Schengen visa for Belarusians. The consular fee for a single entry visa will remain at 25 euros for citizens of Lithuania, Latvia and Poland and 60 euros for the citizens of other EU states.
