College Admission and Resident Permit

Well,
I have been sent acceptence letter from VAASA UAS.I went through all the papers but the forms are totally confusing esp. the enrollment and medical statement.Some of my friends says that the medical statement is not required.Is it so? Do I have to post all the certificates along with the confirmation? Is medical statement to be sent along with that confirmation?Is that medical statement form posted by the  VAASA really compulsory?

You do not need to send Health Insurance to college. While sending your confirmation, just fill that form and sent it. If this form asks for academic certificates, include the photocopies of your certificate as well. But, in normal cases, academic certificates are also not required. Just fill the confirmation and sent it back. Health Insurance is required to apply visa at Embassy; but not to college.
 

Another thing, I have been selected as placement in VAASA UAS,does that means I am only selected there? I have been told that TURKU is better that VAASA.I have VAASA as my 1st option,Turku as my 2nd option and HAMK as my 3rd option.Can't I choose the best university from these options myself. If I am to choose from these 3 options,which do you think will be convinient for me?

Yes, it means you are selected to VAASA UAS. Congratulations !! But, now you can not choose the option since you are already selected to VAASA and other colleges have not offered you admission. So, you don't have any other choices.
 

How long it will take to get visa from Finnish Embassy after we submitt the form? Is it true that it might take 12 weeks?

 

Normally it takes 30-50 days since Embassy itself does not issue the Resident Permit. Embassy just coordinates between Student (applicant) and Immigration Office; also there will be high traffic of applicants during these period. So, it takes so long period. But, it does not take 12 weeks. It is said to take maximum 12 weeks but practically it is issued within 30-50 days.
