IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR STUDENTS
Due to the consistently large number of student visa applicants, the Embassy reminds all students of the following:
1. Those who have already faced the visa interview are requested NOT to inquire about the status of their visa applications (neither by phone, email or on facebook©). Once the responsible Alien Authorities have delivered their opinion, the result will be published on our website.
The Embassy is NOT in the position to speed up the Alien Authorities' decision.
2. Those who have applied for an appointment are requested to have some patience. The Embassy gives appointments in chronological order. As your papers are going to be verified by the language school or/and university in question, the process can be time-consuming.
Please understand that due to data protection regulations no visa status and appointment updates can be given by phone, e-mail or on facebook©.
