Notification and procedures
The Embassy will notify you of any procedures you must follow. Needless to say, be sure to do as you’re told.
The Embassy will also usually set up a briefing with all successful candidates. At that time, you will be given all the necessary information, and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions you have.
! Hint: Make sure your passport has at least two years of remaining validity, as the first visa you receive is granted for two years (and can be prolonged later on). It may be necessary to renew your passport for that.
! Hint for Romanian students: If the guys at the passport department don’t want to change your passport or ask for a ridiculously high fee (or bribe, whatever you may call it), simply pretend that you lost it or spill some juice (or coffee or whatever) or tear out a few pages and declare it ‘deteriorated’. They shouldn’t have anything to object after that.
! Hint for Romanian students (and probably everyone else, too): Sometimes, the Embassy can move really slow. Be patient and call them from time to time; if you bug them long enough, they’ll be sure to spill out all the information they have
