Alyaksandr Lukashenka has signed a decree that the permissive stamp for going abroad “to all countries of the world” is to be cancelled. A “deputy” Syarhei Maskevich told about that at the session of the “chamber of representatives”.

Thus, after the New Year to go outside Belarus it is enough to have a valid national passport for a citizen, Radyjo Racyja informs.

Previously a citizen was to have a special permissive stamp allowing going “to all countries of the world”

A special database of people for whom going abroad is prohibited, has been created to control citizens’ trip abroad. More than 100,000 Belarusians in this database would not be able to go abroad.
