Good to know
Your interview is in India, so plan the Indian visa early. You cannot fly without the travel letter, and the college issues it only after you pay the tuition. Fees and dates can change: we confirm every figure with the college and the consulate before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the Greek student visa interview for Bangladeshi students?
You submit your file at the Greece consulate desk in Dhaka. The interview and the medical test are in India, so you also need an Indian visa.
How much bank balance do I need for a Greece student visa?
Plan for a bank statement and bank solvency of about BDT 25 to 30 lakh (about EUR 20,000), held for 3 to 6 months, with your sponsor's income and tax documents.
Do I pay the tuition before the Greek visa?
At most of our partner colleges you pay a EUR 300 registration fee before the visa and the tuition after the visa. You must pay the tuition before flying, because the travel letter is issued only after payment.
