Job-search permit for 12 months after graduation

Post-study

Belgium gives Dhaka students French, Dutch or English-taught programmes and access to KU Leuven, among the world's top fifty, while its location makes European travel easy.

Tuition of €900–€9,000 a year is moderate, but with no full Belgian visa mission in Dhaka, the Type D application often runs through New Delhi.

Board attestation and the consular route from Bangladesh

Apply directly to Belgian institutions, then have your board and university documents attested through the relevant education board and the Ministry of Education, with bank-solvency proof prepared. As Belgium maintains no full visa mission in Dhaka, the Type D student visa is generally lodged through the Belgian embassy in New Delhi, so arrange the appointment in advance.

Costs, scholarships, visa timeline and post-study work

Budget €800–€1,200 a month for living and around €650 a month in proven support. The Type D visa usually takes 4–8 weeks once complete. Bangladeshi students can pursue the VLIR-UOS scholarship, a WBI grant or Erasmus Mundus, and graduates may use a 12-month job-search permit to find skilled work.

Frequently asked questions

Where do Bangladeshi students apply for a Belgian student visa?

Because there is no full Belgian visa mission in Dhaka, applicants usually lodge the Type D student visa through the Belgian embassy in New Delhi, so plan for travel and appointments.

What languages are programmes taught in within Belgium?

Belgium is trilingual, offering French, Dutch and English-taught courses. Many master's programmes, especially at KU Leuven and Ghent, are in English.

Is there post-study work in Belgium for Bangladeshi graduates?

Yes. Graduates can apply for a 12-month job-search permit, giving time to find skilled work that can lead to a longer residence permit.
