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). All students
commencing the course in Belgium
should apply for Student Schengen visa (type D) for long term stay
in Embassy or Consulate of Belgium
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). 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.
