Recognition of higher education acquired at foreign higher educational institutions

7. HOW LONG WILL THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE TAKE ME?

The normative period for processing the documents and taking a decision is up to 2 months, starting from the date of submission of all necessary documents.

In cases where no additional documents are required, the deadline is about a month.

In cases where there are unclear circumstances, additional information and/or documents are required from the applicant. They must be presented no later than two months from the date of notification.

If necessary, a request for additional information can be sent to the higher education institution that issued the higher education diploma or to the competent authorities of the country where the higher education was obtained.

Some higher education institutions expressly require your consent for the NACID checks. In such cases, your cooperation is mandatory. Our experts at the Center for Administrative Services (CAS) will advise you when submitting the application.
