After the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing ('Immigration Office') sends out the positive decision, it takes 2-3 weeks for the permit to be manufactured. All residence permits for the purpose of study are sent to the address of the university by post. Shortly after the arrival of your card, you will receive a notification through Neptun. Please wait for this notification which includes the time and place to receive your card.
