Title: Changing from Schengen Business visa to Student visa in Europe? Post by: punarthaj on August 12, 2015, 08:29:05 pm Hi,
I am a non Eu national, who already has a business visa for 5 years (multiple entry) for Schengen area which allows me to stays 90 days at once. Meanwhile, i have been accepted at a university in Belgium as a student for a course of 1 year. I want to ask whether i can enter Belgium using my current business visa and change it with Belgium authorities to a student visa? [Meanwhile, since i have a business visa, i will be working for one of my home country institutes as their representative in Belgium, where my home country will pay me, while studying as student] Title: Re: Changing from Schengen Business visa to Student visa in Europe?

I believe you should not have a problem having your visa changed from business visa to student visa. Obtaining work visa is more complicated, I do not see any reason why the authorities would not want to give you "easier-to-get" visa once you already are an "approved" individual. |
