Austria

Non-EU/EEA students who spend more than 3 months in Austria need a visa (up to 6 months) or a Residence Permit. 

For incoming students who apply the first time please visit the admission page for the relevant information.

For continuing students who would like to extend their permits, please visit this page. 

Hungary

According to Hungarian law, international students must fulfill all requirements for residency in Hungary: failure to do so may result in suspension of enrollment.

Students holding multiple passports are advised to choose the easiest way to settle their residence status in Hungary: European Union citizens receive their legal documents rather easily, involving minimal efforts.

Please review the table below or menu to the left and select the category which applies to your circumstances:

 

Citizens of countries outside the EEA

Citizens of EEA Member States

Continuing students - see here

Citizens of visa required countries to Hungary, continuing (Master's or PhD) studies at CEU - see here

Citizens of EEA member states, continuing (Master's or PhD) studies at CEU - see here

If your situation differs from any of the previous ones, or you need additional information, you could always contact us at: studentcenter@ceu.edu.
