How to study in Belgium as an international student — application steps, student visas, and living costs.
Studying in Belgium requires matching the programme community, institution admission and immigration route. Education is handled by the Flemish, French and German-speaking Communities, while non-EU student residence is handled by the Immigration Office.
- Belgium.be explicitly notes that education is a community competence.
- Non-EU students in recognised higher education generally apply for a D visa or authorisation to stay for more than 90 days.
- Tuition, language and deadline rules vary by institution and community portal.
