• FAQ
Questions we often hear on this route
Is student residency tied to university enrolment?
Yes. It continues as long as enrolment continues, and proof of enrolment is required on renewal.
What happens after my studies end?
The basis for student residency ends, and the student needs to leave or move to another type of residency where its basis and documents are available.
Can a student’s family members obtain residency?
This may be possible in some cases under the rules in force. We review each case individually.
