As of May 18, 2020, it is possible to continue processing of long-term visa / residence permit applications for the purpose of study that have been filed before March 14, 2020. Once the decision on the application is available, the applicant will be notified by the Consulate General to pick up the visa / decision. We kindly request applicants to await the  Consulate´s notification.

Acceptance of new long-term visa / residence permit applications for the purpose of study continues to be suspended. Resumption of these visa services will be tied to the expected reopening of the external borders of the Schengen Area, currently scheduled for June 15, 2020.
Please follow the website of the  Consulate General or of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for updates.
