Residence Permit Guide

All international students require a certain type of migration document (National D Visa, Schengen Visa, Temporary Residence Permit, or Temporary Residence Certificate). Degree students, after being accepted to study at LSU, must apply either for Temporary Residence Permit (non-EU citizens) or Temporary Residence Certificate (EU/EEA citizens).
