letter of admission or letter of acceptance?
For obvious reasons, the first requirement for obtaining a student visa is a letter of admission (degree students) or a letter of acceptance (exchange students) from UC Leuven-Limburg.
A letter of admission will be issued by our Admissions Office whereas a letter of acceptance will be issued by our International Mobility Coordinators in charge of exchange programmes.

If you have a nationality from outside the European Economic Area you will have to apply for a student visa(link is external) (courtesy of KULeuven, our umbrella university) for Belgium.

The visa procedure will include a check of your financial solvency. There are various ways in which you can prove it.
UC Leuven-Limburg is able to assist you with a 'proof of solvency'. We offer a so-called "blocked account "procedure. As soon as you have been admitted, we will provide further details about this procedure.
Please contact admissions@ucll.be with any remaining questions.
