FAQ
About Baltic International
Still unsure? One call with a counsellor usually settles it.
Ask us directlyWhat does it cost to study at Baltic International?
Tuition depends on the programme and the intake, and institutions revise their fee schedules each year. We quote you the current published figure for the exact course on your shortlist, together with the living costs you must show for the visa.
What are the entry requirements?
They vary by programme and by level. Bring your transcripts and any English test result you already hold and we will tell you which courses here you meet today, and what would close the gap on the rest.
Does Vision Success apply on my behalf?
Yes. We prepare and file the application, follow it to a decision and handle the offer, the fee payment and the visa file that follows.

Offers usually come back in a few weeks, but the visa that follows is the longer part. Start at least six to nine months before the intake you want.
