Registration

The law states that all visitors’ passports and visas have to be registered within 7 working days upon arrival. If booking accommodation with us, we take full responsibility for the registration of our students with the local authorities. Registration normally takes up to two working days.

Please note that if accommodation is booked with a third party, EDUCA doesn’t take any responsibility for the registration process.

Until the registration is complete, students are provided with stamped copies of their passport, visa, and migration card, as well as with a letter from EDUCA which is used as a temporary identity certification.  During this period please, consult a member of staff at EDUCA before attempting to do any banking if identification is required.
