As a rule, the university provides the student with a single-entry visa with the maximum duration of 2 months. Using this visa the student comes to Belarus to take exams or to submit their documents to the preparatory department. As soon as the university accepts the student, it gives them the necessary documents to receive their temporary residence permit, which gives them a right to stay in the Republic of Belarus for an academic year. The following permit is extended for another year in the next academic year. These procedures continue until the student finishes the university.
