Non-EU students
The following texts present complex information about residency processes for non-EU students or third-country nationals (citizens of a country that is not a member of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland).
The texts focus on the mandatory obligations that all non-EU students must fulfil in order to obtain residency documents, outlining the obligations that need to be completed before arrival, during your stay, and after finishing your studies.
Before you begin the process, we recommend checking if your country has any visa exemptions for short-term residencies. The procedures for entering under visa-free relations may vary, so we encourage students to research information beforehand. We also recommend that you check in advance whether you are eligible for an exception from local jurisdiction.
