Courses in The Netherlands

Accommodation

Students will be provided by accommodation for the whole period of the program. The accommodation will be provided in Amsterdam. Students will stay at a Guest House in the rooms for 2 people. The accommodation in a single room can be arranged for additional payment. Students will have access to the kitchen which they can use in case of need. The accommodation is well connected by public transport with all the touristy places in the city. During the program, the training will be conducted in the classroom which is in walking distance from the Guest House. Students will be provided a detailed description of the venue and the information on how to reach it from the airport.

We offer comfortable accommodation where students can stay during the program and fully enjoy their time in Amsterdam!

For those studying in the The Hague, accommodation is provided in the student residence of the university. Students live in double rooms (single rooms are possible for an additional fee).

Visa

We provide a visa invitation for the visa to the Netherlands. Please note – visa invitation is not a visa – with the invitation that we will send, you will still need to go to the closest Dutch Consulate and apply for a visa.

Together with the visa invitation, you will need to provide other documents – usually, those documents include passport, passport size photo, filled application form, insurance, proof of means, proof of work/study and other documents. The list of the documents might slightly differ depending on the country where you apply for a visa. Please check the website of the closest Dutch Consulate to see what is the list of the documents you need to prepare.

In most of the cases before applying for a visa you need to make an appointment at the Consulate. Some times you can only make an appointment 1-2 months in advance. We recommend you to contact the Consulate as soon as possible to make an appointment.

The fee for the visa might differ depending on the country where you apply – you might have your visa free of charge or might need to pay for it 35 or 60 euro. Those are the fees in case you apply for a visa directly at the Consulate. If you apply via Visa Centre of the Dutch Consulate, Visa Centre, Travel agency or another organisation – those organisations might charge extra fees for their services.

If you submit all the requested documents on time the chance for the rejection of a visa is very small. In our experience, the visas are mostly rejected if an applicant provides false information to the Consulate. This could be the major reason for rejections. We kindly ask you to check the documents before the application and make sure you only provide the correct information to the Consulate and in that case, you most probably will receive a visa without any difficulties.

And of course, if you have any questions regarding the visa application procedure we would be happy to assist at any stage of your application!

Courses in Russia

Accommodation

The accommodation during the event will be provided in a unique location – a modern comfortable training centre. Participants will sleep and have sessions at the same building! The training centre is located in the south of Moscow (so called New Moscow area).

The training centre consists of 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a large common room for the sessions. In addition to the standard facilities, the training centre is equipped with Jacuzzi that can be used by participants, the fireplace where participants can gather in the evenings together, terrace and other facilities which will make the stay comfortable.

The training centre in New Moscow is not just a building! It was constructed with the intention to give participants the feeling of the community together! To facilitate informal contacts among participants outside of the sessions. Fully equipped kitchen and the place for BBQing are also available for the participants.

In case of the good weather, the outside area can be used by participants as well.

It is possible to arrive one/a few days earlier or leave one/a few days later. The fee for every extra night is 50 euro per night. You will be provided accommodation for extra nights at the training centre, but no meals will be provided during these additional nights.

If you would like to book additional nights – please let us know and we will provide a visa invitation for a longer period. It is not possible to request a visa invitation for a longer period and stay at another venue for additional nights. Due to strict migration regulations, we can provide a visa invitation for a longer period only if you spend all the nights within your stay at the venue of our training centre.

That is why we recommend you to contact the closest Russian Consulate as soon as possible to make an appointment for a visa.

For non-EU citizens, the visa fee is 35 or 60 euro (depending on the country where you apply for a visa). Those are the fees if you apply directly at the Consulate. In most of the countries, you can apply directly to the Consulate but you also have a choice to apply for a visa to the Visa Centre of the Consulate, Visa Centre, Travel Agency or to another organisation. If you are applying through any of those organisations (e.g. anywhere except the Consulate itself) there might be extra charges.
