Are you a Moroccan student hoping to study in Europe without tying up a large sum in a blocked bank account? Lithuania and several other EU countries offer a more straightforward route. This guide explains how the blocked-account requirement works, what it means for your budget, and how our three Moroccan offices can help.
In a number of European countries, students must deposit a fixed sum into a blocked account before a student visa is issued. The money is released gradually once you arrive, and the requirement exists to show you can cover your living costs.
Lithuania has not applied a blocked-account requirement of this kind to Moroccan student applicants. In practice this means you show proof of sufficient funds rather than freezing a set amount for the year.
You still need to cover tuition and living costs. As a working figure, students have typically budgeted around €5,000 for first-year tuition and initial living expenses, against roughly €8,000 that a blocked account would tie up elsewhere in the EU.
Several European countries welcome Moroccan students onto English-taught programmes:
All of these are in the Schengen Area, so a student residence permit allows travel across the zone.
We run three offices across Morocco and handle each administrative step, from preparing your file through to admission and the visa application.
Please note: Tuition, living costs and visa requirements vary by university, programme and academic year, and are set by the Lithuanian authorities and each institution. Always confirm the current figures with the university and the relevant consulate before you apply.
