The visa process may take some time depending on the country of origin. It is very important that you allow yourself time for this process so you can arrive in Athens before the beginning of the desired semester and not after it has already begun.

The Municipality here in Athens requires specific documents from the student in order for them to issue the official certificate, which allows you to apply for a student visa. For more information, see Visas and Permits.
