Student visa
The national visa for study: consulate appointment, document package, insurance and blocked account. We support your application — the decision is made by the consulate.
The visa: the bridge between your offer and your move
Once you have a university offer, you need to obtain a student visa (national type D visa). This is a separate consular procedure with its own timelines, documents and appointment booking.
A mistake in the visa package can easily cost you +6 months and the risk of missing a semester, so this step is run to a calendar and with organisational support (in the admission programmes).
What you need for the visa
- Visa type
- National type D visa
- Consulate appointment
- book early; timelines to be confirmed
- Blocked account
- amount confirmed every year
- Insurance

The exact list and amounts depend on the country and consulate and are confirmed from official sources.
