Who can apply for a scientific research visa

Candidate eligibility

During the video consultation call, our experts will conduct a thorough assessment of the candidate’s eligibility. We verify whether they possess the necessary qualifications to obtain the visa.

Furthermore, the scientific research visa requires sponsorship from an authorized research institution. Our consultants will therefore review the hosting agreement signed with the researcher to ensure it contains all the mandatory information for immigration purposes.

When assessing the applicant’s eligibility, please note that certain categories of foreigners who already hold work visas are excluded from applying for a visa.

F.A.Q. about the service

The permit is issued by the competent Police Headquarters for the duration of the research program, which can be either fixed-term (up to 2 years) or indefinite.

A scientific research residence permit can only be converted at the end of the research project, upon presentation of documentation certifying the completion of the research covered by the agreement.
