STEP 1: Letter of admission or letter of acceptance
The first requirement for obtaining a student visa is:
1) for degree students:
- a letter of admission from UC Leuven-Limburg
- will be issued by our Admissions Office
2) For exchange students:
- a letter of acceptance from UC Leuven-Limburg
- will be issued by our International Mobility Coordinators in charge of exchange programmes
STEP 2: ‘blocked account’ procedure
Only necessary for students outside the European Economic Area
During the application process for a student visa, you will need to prove your financial solvency. 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
STEP 3: Apply for a student visa
With the proof of solvency at the ready, you can apply for a student visa (courtesy of KULeuven, our partner university) for Belgium.
