What do you need to start applying for your VISA?
Following the acceptance of your scholarship offer, you will receive two important documents: the Letter of Acceptance issued by your host institution and the Letter of Award issued by Tempus Public Foundation. You will need to submit these when applying for a visa.
Letter of Acceptance
You will receive a Letter of Acceptance from the host institution with further details about your arrival and enrolment if you:
successfully uploaded all missing application documents to the online system by 1 August
and you have accepted the scholarship offer by the given deadline.
Letter of Award
Within a few days of receiving the Letter of Acceptance, you will be able to download the Letter of Award from the online application system. This letter is issued by the Tempus Public Foundation, and it contains information about your scholarship holder status, including basic data of the scholarship holder, duration of scholarship status, amount and scope of scholarship, and conditions of its validity. You can download both documents from the online application system and they will also be sent to your registered email address. Please make sure to start your visa application process as soon as possible!
