#EducationIsNotTourism: International Students to EU Call on Member States to Resume Student Visa Application Processing

Posted date: 22 Jul 2021

The restrictive measures that have been introduced all across the world by every country attempting to halt the spread of the Coronavirus in their territory have brought unpredictable difficulties to the lives of many.

Students, among other categories, have been widely affected by these bans, which have even jeopardised their dreams to study in a foreign country.

Introduced in mid-March this year, the EU-wide entry ban on third-country citizens has also put at risk the chances of many to study in an EU Member State, after the latter closed their embassies abroad and stopped all visa services, alongside with the entry ban.

With the improvement of the epidemiological situation in the EU for the better and the introduction of effective measures on halting the spread of the virus from international arrivals, the majority of the EU Members have exempted students from the entry ban, given that they comply with the hygiene and distance measures.
