I'm planning to visit a summer school in the Schengen zone. What kind of visa should I apply for?

Choose the main visit purpose

On the Schengen visa application form you must fill the following section:

The relevant question is whether you will spend most of your days studying or traveling.

  • If you spend 9 or less days traveling - mark the 'Study' checkbox
  • If you spend 10 days traveling - mark both 'Study' and 'Tourism'
  • If you spend 11 or more days traveling - mark the 'Tourism' checkbox

In the study visa application you should include the details about your tourist trip and vice versa.

Documents required if your main purpose is studying

According to the Handbook for the processing of visa applications and the modification of issued visas you will need to provide the following documents to support your visa application:

  1. for journeys undertaken for the purposes of study or other types of training:

(a) a certificate of enrolment at an educational establishment for the purposes of attending vocational or theorΒ­etical courses within the framework of basic and further training;

(b) student cards or certificates of the courses to be attended;

If the summer school is unable to provide such documentation (e.g. it's more of a conference), apply for a different visa type.
