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.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism, the decision follows an official visit to Belarus by Minister Vijitha Herath in May 2026.
Under the new arrangement, Sri Lankan students travelling to Belarus for higher education for the first time will be exempt from paying the arrival visa fee.
The Belarusian government has also initiated steps to simplify visa procedures for family members wishing to visit Sri Lankan students already studying in the country.
The ministry said the measures are expected to provide relief to Sri Lankan students seeking higher education opportunities in Belarus and make it easier for their families to visit them.(Newswire)
