The student visa (X2) is available for students who study longer than 2 months, for this visa you will also receive some information and documents from us.

Of course, you are also welcome to apply by yourself, but please try to start your visa application as early as possible.
Good To Know
Although the regular visa processing time takes only about a week, it's best to apply two to three months in advance, before your study program starts. This will give you ample time to search for and purchase a cheaper flight ticket. Flight tickets tend to be more expensive when purchased close to the flight date.
