The United Kingdom is a country of foreign students, and there are a number of foreign communities that live there; they often send their children to Belarus to study general medicine and pharmaceutical degree programs.

BELARUS STUDENT VISA PROCESS FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS

Most of the nationals from different countries depart from the country of residence with an official study invitation and OK TO BOARD letter, and the Belarusian student visa is stamped at Minsk International Airport for 110 dollars. Also, every international student pays a 170-euro medical insurance fee at the Minsk Airport immigration counter.

A few countries have Belarusian embassies, like Nigeria, India, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Pakistan, so the nationals of these countries obtain their student visas for Belarus from the embassies in their country and then depart.

All the foreign students are strictly advised to scan their air ticket 3 days before departure as we prepare their reception documents for Minsk International Airport immigration.

No scholarships or financial aid are available.
