Visas and residence permits


Do you come from a country outside the European Union?

You may need to get a visa to be allowed to study within Belgium.

A residence permit is obligatory. In order to get this, you should contact the municipal office, or 'commune' of your area of residence in Belgium after you have passed the entrance examination.
