schengen visas

Since February, they’ve cost €80

On May 27, the Council of the European Union adopted two decisions to conclude a visa facilitation agreement and a readmission agreement with Belarus.

Last week Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka signed laws regarding the ratification of the agreements on visa facilitation and readmission with the European Union.

Belarusian lawmakers intend to ratify the visa facilitation and readmission agreements with the European Union at the opening of the spring session of the House of Representatives, Andrey Savinykh, Chairman of the parliamentary committee for internatonal affairs, said.

This measure is valid until the end of the year.

The European Union will not freeze the Schengen visa fee for Belarusians; it will drop only after the visa facilitation agreement comes into force.

On January 8, the European Union and Belarus have signed a visa facilitation agreement and a readmission agreement.
