Visa information (general)
As soon as an official
decision from the European Commission is known, students will be
sent an admission
letter. This letter together with other supporting documents should be submitted
to the relevant Embassy in a country of residence in order to obtain
a visa. Additionally Chinese students planning
to study in Flanders will have to obtain a certificate of academic
screening issued by the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS) before they
apply for a visa (for details see
Procedures/Accepted students). If students were assigned to start the course in Belgium, they
should apply for Student Schengen visa (type D) for long term stay
in Embassy or Consulate of Belgium or, if Ireland is the first
destination country, for Student visa for long term stay (type D) in
the Embassy or Consulate of Ireland in a country of their
residence.
Once students are in the
country and the decision which optional modules to follow is made,
they should apply for visa for relevant country from the place of
their temporary residence (Belgium or Ireland). If Schengen visa is
awarded in the first instance students may freely travel within the
Schengen area that covers, between others, Germany and Portugal but
they require a separate visa for Ireland.
