Work rights & post-study options
Eligible international students can undertake part-time employment subject to their immigration status and applicable employment conditions. Students should plan sufficient funding for their education and living expenses independently of potential earnings. Post-study residence depends on the applicable immigration route. The EU Immigration Portal currently states that students completing their studies must return home and submit a fresh application for a different purpose. A fixed post-study work period should therefore be confirmed before being advertised.
Frequently asked questions
Can I study in Greece without IELTS?
It may be possible where the institution accepts another English test or grants an exemption based on previous English-medium education. MOI acceptance must be confirmed for the specific institution, programme and applicant.
Can I pay tuition fees after receiving my visa?
Payment schedules depend on the institution. Some programmes require a deposit or after visa payment.
What visa do Bangladeshi students need?
or long-term study, applicants normally need a National Long-Stay Visa, Type D, and the applicable student residence permit. Admission evidence, financial means, health insurance, a valid passport and certified supporting documents form part of the requirements. The relevant consular checklist determines the final submission.
How much money do I need to show?
Applicants must demonstrate sufficient resources for their studies and living expenses. The required evidence should be checked against current consular instructions and the selected programme’s tuition and payment schedule. A living-cost estimate is separate from the official financial-evidence requirement.
Are scholarships available?
Yes. Selected institutions offer scholarships based on academic performance and other eligibility conditions.
