Student visa application support for Europe

National long-stay student visa preparation for France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Poland, including blocked account and financial proof requirements.

European student visas are national long-stay visas, not Schengen short-stay visas, and each country runs its own process. France routes applicants through Campus France, Germany requires a blocked account with a set annual balance, and the Netherlands has the university itself apply on the student's behalf. Getting the sequence right matters more than the paperwork.

What is included

  • Country and route selection mapped to your admission offer and funding
  • Pre-consular steps handled — Campus France, APS, uni-assist and equivalents
  • Blocked account or financial guarantee opened and evidenced
  • Accommodation proof arranged to the standard the consulate accepts
  • Health insurance meeting the national requirement
  • Appointment booking and pre-submission file review
  • Post-arrival registration briefing — residence permit, city registration, bank account

Documents usually required

Indicative. The binding list is the one we send you for your specific consulate, because these change and they differ by post.

  • Admission or enrolment letter
  • Academic transcripts and certificates
  • Language test results
  • Proof of funds or blocked account confirmation
  • Accommodation proof
  • Health insurance
  • Passport

How long it takes

Plan on 8 to 12 weeks between admission and departure. The binding constraint is usually the pre-consular step and the appointment slot, not the visa decision.

What it costs

Service fee quoted per student. Consulate fees, blocked account charges, tuition and university application fees are paid directly by the student.

Questions about student visas

How much money must I show for a German student visa?

Germany requires a blocked account holding a set amount for one year of living costs, and the figure is revised by the federal government periodically. We confirm the current figure at the time you apply rather than working from last year's number.

Can I work while studying in Europe on a student visa?

Most European student visas allow limited part-time work, with the permitted hours set by national law and differing between countries. We give you the current rule for your specific country in writing before you travel.

Do you help with university admission as well as the visa?

We support the visa and the documentation that surrounds it, including the pre-consular steps that universities require. We do not act as an admissions agent for any specific institution, so nothing we recommend is driven by a university commission.
