A Burundi student visa allows a foreign national to immigrate to Burundi on a temporary basis to pursue a course of study in the country. Studying in Burundi is becoming an increasingly popular option for senior students worldwide. Burundi offers a long history of excellent education with many educational institutions.

A study visa allows holders to live and work (on a limited basis) in Burundi for as long as they need to complete a course of study to help support themselves and any dependents.

The following criteria should be followed:

• An acceptance letter must be provided, confirming that the applicant has been offered a place on a full-time course at a recognized institution.
• Applicants must be able to demonstrate sufficient funds to support themselves in the country.
• It is necessary to prove that payment for the training course was made in full.
• It is necessary to take out private health insurance and provide documentary evidence of this.
• The candidate must have a strong intention to return to their country after the study period.
