Cyprus Student visa

In order to study abroad in Cyprus, non-EU nationals must first apply for both a student visa and a temporary residency permit. You can arrive and stay in Cyprus legally for up to 90 days if you have a student visa. After arriving, you must have your visa changed into a temporary residence permit if your course of study will take more than 90 days. A student visa is not necessary for EU nationals or residents of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland. If they plan to stay more than three months, they will need a residency permit. You must pay an additional €70 for a residence permit, and it usually takes three months to hear back.

  1. English language requirement: Since the course content is written and taught in English, you must demonstrate your strong communication abilities in order to avoid any language barriers to understanding the course concepts. IELTS or PTE are frequently used as English proficiency tests to assess applicants for international study programmes. You will be approved without much difficulty to enrol in a certain university for post-secondary study if the earned band scores match the eligibility requirements of a course.
  2. Academic requirements: It depends on the degree you choose and the specific university you are attending. A mark sheet roughly similar to that from the 12th grade, a certificate of language proficiency, and strong academic credentials are typically needed for undergraduate programmes. There may be instances when you need to study a certain subject or complete a quick level test in order to be accepted into your programme based on your practical abilities. Your ability to demonstrate your talents and efficiency in the chosen field will depend on the course of study you are enrolled in. If you have a strong profile, your chances of eligibility will rise as a result.
  3. Medical certification: During their studies, students are required to have an OHSC (Overseas Student Health Cover), which helps them pay for access to medical services. By using it, students can request emergency assistance, such as the delivery of an ambulance or frequently prescribed medications, by paying for it, in the event that they experience a health issue in the future. When you require quick medical attention or hospital care in Australia to restore your health, this health insurance will assist you in doing so.

The first thing to do when migrating to a new nation is to look for suitable housing. Next, it should be carefully picked by striking a balance between the lifestyle and the available funds. The following issues need to be resolved before moving anywhere, especially for international students.

  • To make it simpler to get to classes on time, find out how far the lodging is from the educational facility.
  • Before signing any contract, the cost of extras like meals, laundry, and energy bills should be confirmed so that you have a clear understanding of the entire cost of your stay and may decide in advance whether or not to pay more for them.
  • Look for other market amenities, such as hospitals, shopping malls, and food restaurants, so that you can use them for your pleasure or in case of an emergency.

The first and most crucial consideration while you are studying is to make accommodations to ensure your safety and comfort during your stay in a foreign country. There are several different sorts of lodging options with a range of amenities, and their prices also differ. The house should be within budget and have access to emergency facilities in order to be safe and convenient, especially for students. On-campus housing, which is even more affordable than other options, is typically an option that students can choose during the application or study visa process. However, the student ultimately chooses what kind of accommodation they want to live in. Living in Cyprus is affordable and varies according to the lifestyle and accommodation.

  • Transportation cost: Buses, taxis, and boats are just a few of the transportation options in Cyprus. Traveling within and outside of Cyprus is inexpensive. It takes €1.5 for one-way local transport ticket. Taking a monthly pass will cost you €40.00.
  • Accommodation cost: Depending on the number of bedrooms—one or three—and the location—inside the city centre or outside the city centre, you may anticipate paying between €300.00 and €550.
    • Private accommodation: This lodging choice is less expensive and can be used in a communal setting. The price varies according to the facilities and location. Water and power costs must be paid in addition to the monthly rent.
    • Residence hall: These are single and double rooms that are completely equipped. There are all the required amenities, including a kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms.
    • On campus: International students enrolling at the universities, colleges, or other institutions have access to on-campus housing options. The cost of on campus accommodation can vary in different institutes, to know about the exact cost you can check the selected college or university.

During their stay in another country, students must plan budget for their education, housing, and other daily costs for necessities. Therefore, in order to avoid any financial problems, students should have a general understanding of the projected total cost associated with all of these services before travelling abroad. A course's tuition fees do not cover the cost of course materials or other co-op work term expenses. Additionally, the cost of education depends on where you plan to enrol for your studies and the facilities offered by the educational institution. All of these educational costs differ from programme to programme and institution to university.

  • Undergraduate degree: €3000 to €13,000
  • Postgraduate degree: €5000 to €10,000
  • Doctoral degree: €10,000 to €22,000

Availability of Scholarship

As some students are not able to afford the tuition fee for their studies in abroad, most of the colleges and universities offer scholarship to students so that they can focus on their studies rather than worrying about their financial problems. There are different types of scholarships a student can get.

  • Academic scholarship: These awards are frequently widely publicised, and the competition is often intense. Academic or merit-based scholarships are rewards for the years of hard work and dedicated effort put forth by young and outstanding students, even if all scholarships must take a student's GPA into account.
  • Alumni scholarship: An alumni is someone who has previously attended the college and most likely graduated from it. Some colleges provide scholarships made by former students, as well as individuals who received honorary degrees for their contributions. These initiatives provide students with free money, however the majority of them have an application process.
  • Athletic scholarship: A scholarship for a private high school or college that is given to a person primarily on the basis of that person's ability to play a sport is known as an athletic scholarship.

As an international student, it's crucial to work a part-time job in the public or private sector to get experience and learn about the culture of the host nation while pursuing your education. You will benefit from learning practical skills in a number of industries outside of course work and managing normal expenses. You can not only pay for your living needs but also put some money aside for paying your school loans. Cyprus is a member of the European Union, and its economy is booming and steady, with both new businesses and established companies. Through colleges, students have the opportunity to participate in internship and traineeship programmes in well-established businesses and get paid in accordance with their working hours while also gaining job experience and exposure to the business world. If a foreign national is enrolled in a full-time study programme at a Cyprus-accredited university, Cyprus permits them to work part-time for 20 hours a week. If they are not participating in internship programmes run by their universities, international students are only allowed to work in a limited number of places. There are many types of jobs available in Cyprus for international students that includes:

  • Working in supermarket and stores
  • Serve in any bar, hotel or café
  • Do jobs like child caring or cleaning
  • Tutoring is also a good part time job.
