A partner summer school in Zug. We help you choose the right course, meet the entry requirements, apply on time and get your national visa (type D), free of charge.
Public universities ask visa applicants to apply by about the end of February (30 April for others). Private hospitality schools, like our partners, have several intakes and take applications until about 3 months before each.
These are the usual latest dates for students who need a visa. Montana Institute may close a course earlier when it fills, or accept later applications while places remain: an adviser confirms the date for your course.

Questions
What students ask us
Can you help me apply to Montana Institute?
Yes. Montana Institute is one of our partners, so our advisers know how it admits international students. We help with course choice, the application and the national visa (type D).
Does your help cost anything?
Your consultation is free, and so is our help with the application. Ask us how we work with our partners and we will tell you.
When should I apply?
As early as you can: an adviser will confirm the dates for your course.
Do I need a visa for Switzerland?
Most international students need a national visa (type D). Expect 8–12 weeks. Start as soon as you have your offer, ideally 6 months before you travel.
