Entry and Visa

Students coming from outside of Europe

You sign up for one of our long term courses
We confirm your application and send you an admission letter including a payment summary
When we receive your payment, you will receive your official enrollment letter confirming your admission and information about the ST-1 process.
We create a ST-1 case-ID for you and fill in the first part of the application
We then send you information about the second part of the ST-1 application, which you need to fill in, in order to apply for a residence permit.
When you have submitted part two of the ST-1 application, you have to book an appointment for registering your biometrics either at the embassy or at an official center.
If approved The Danish Immigration Service (SIRI) will then issue your residence permit, but have patience and apply fast as the process can be long.
About one month before school start you will receive information and practical details about your coming stay.
When you arrive at the school we will help you register at the local municipality, this will start the process of getting a CPR-number (a personal ID), you will be issued a health insurance card (the yellow card)that gives you access to the Danish health insurance. (It is a good idea to take out a health insurance to cover you in case of illness during the first period of your stay in Denmark and studytrip.)
