Critical Considerations

Hosting Agreement Details
Your hosting agreement must clearly state the research objectives, duration of the project, hosting institution, and supervisor details.

Authorization to Stay (ATS)
Obtain your original Authorization to Stay (ATS) before applying. Without the ATS, your application may be weakened because it is an essential document supporting the purpose of your stay.

Financial Informations
Ensure that your financial information is consistent with the other supporting documents submitted with your application.

Document Authenticity
Make sure all submitted documents are authentic and, where required, properly translated and notarized.
