Can Australians study in Europe with an ETIAS?

With an ETIAS authorisation, Australians may be able to participate in short-term study activities in Schengen countries that last less than 90 days, such as: 

• Short courses 

• Workshops 

• Conferences 

• Summer schools 

• Language programs 

However, for longer educational programs or full-time study at a European university, you will need to apply for a national student visa or residence permit from the specific country where you plan to study. Each country has its own requirements for student visas, typically including acceptance at a recognised educational institution, proof of financial means, and health insurance. 

As entry and visa requirements for Europe and the Schengen Area may change over time, it is your responsibility to verify entry and visa requirements with the official government authorities including the European Commission and the embassy or consulate of the European country you plan to visit.
