Costs Bangladeshi applicants miss

  • A trip to New Delhi to prove your identity at the Finland Application Centre, plus any Indian visa.
  • VFS verification of Bangladeshi certificates that need legalising: about €140 each.
  • Housing deposits; student housing foundations such as HOAS in Helsinki offer below-market rent.
