Temporary residence permit for study

Is a licence or registration needed?

Admission is by the institution; professional registration comes after the degree.

What is the path to permanent residence?

Residence for job search after graduation; work residence with an employer.

Do I need clearance from my own country before leaving?

It depends on where you are from. Some countries require exit clearance for work contracts abroad (for example Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment (BEOE) / Protector of Emigrants); students usually do not. The platform checks the rule for your country.
