Administrative Procedures and Costs

Permission to enter Greece

Students and citizens from the European Union do not need a student visa to enter Greece. A valid passport is, of course, necessary.

Non-EU students

For study programmes which run for three months, only a visa is required.

For study programmes which run for over three months, the following must be undertaken:

  • Application for a student visa.
  • Payment of the amount of 200 EURO upon arrival at MAICh to the Greek authorities responsible for issuing the residence permit.
  • Issue of a certificate (written in Greek if possible, otherwise English) from student’s native country verifying that he/she has full medical insurance to cover his/her stay in Greece (doctor, medication, hospital treatment) or the option of taking out the medical insurance policy available at MAICh at a charge of 13 EURO per month.

For reasons of convenience, it is strongly advised that students choose the second option.

Tuition Fees, Board and Accommodation

Tuition Fees: Exchange Students within the European SOCRATES/ERASMUS programme or exchange students coming to MAICh under the bilateral agreements are not charged tuition fees.

Board and Accommodation: Full board and accommodation at MAICh are offered to SOCRATES/ERASMUS students at the following rates:

  • Private room 280 Euro per month
  • Shared room 180 Euro per month.
