Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical accommodation set-up in Europe? Will you help me find accommodation?

In Spain, expect to rent out a bedroom in a shared apartment for a budget of €350~€600 (which is typically done by any international student, European or non-European!). In Italy, it would be €400~€700 per month. In France, you can typically expect to rent a bedroom in a shared apartment for about €450~€800 per month.

Through our services, we connect you with trusted apartment owners who can provide you with the necessary documents for your stay. Depending on the location, we can also physically check out any accommodation you have found.

Can you do a check of the school for me?

Yes, as part of our services, we can visit schools (depending on location) that you may be interested in applying to and make any relevant inquiries.

What is the validity of the student visa?

The student visa on your passport, upon successful application, will only be valid for a few months (1 month if Italy, 3 months if Spain). As such, you will need to apply for your foreign identity card upon arrival, which will be valid for the duration of your studies or one year (whichever is shorter).

‍

When should I apply for my student visa?

For Spain, the student visa appointment can only be done 3 months before your intake. For the UK, it can be done as early as 6 months. You will need time to prepare all other documents before the appointment.

How much money do I need to prepare?

For Spain, you need to prepare at least €10,000 per year of studies for your living expenses in Spain (emphasis on at least for the bank balance as the higher the better). This excludes tuition fees, health insurance, and other expenses needed for your visa application.

When is the best time to start applying?

We suggest applying at least 6 months before your desired intake. Depending on the school and the country, it will take at least one month to apply for the program of your choice. Once accepted, you will need a few months to get the documents needed for the student visa application.

The earlier the better, so that you can also apply for scholarships or get early bird discounts, depending on the school.

Do I fly to Europe and then apply for the study program from there?

No, applications are done online from your current country of residence. Once accepted to the program of your choice, you have three months before the start of the program of apply for the student visa.
