Konrad Pavlik: Poland Issued About 400 Thousand Visas To Belarusians This Year

Polish visas are issued in 12 centers throughout Belarus.

It is expected that in 2017, the Polish consulates will give Belarusians about 400 thousand visas. It was stated by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to the Republic of Belarus Konrad Pavlik, tut.by writes:

– Polish consular offices accredited in the Republic of Belarus will issue about 400,000 visas to Belarusians in 2017. We will see in just two weeks whether there will be as many visas as there were last year, or a little more," – Polish Ambassador to Belarus Konrad Pavlik said.

The ambassador recalled that Polish and Schengen visas are issued in 12 centers: three consulates (in Hrodna, Brest and the consular department of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Minsk), eight visa centers, as well as in the consulate of Latvia in Vitsebsk.

– We are trying to issue more multiple and long-term visas, to respond to visa demand, which appears throughout Belarus. This is very positive, of course. If you recall the previous years, it was more difficult to get a visa, even in the Polish consulates.
