Before finalising your budget for the stay

Identify your study duration and expected entry and departure dates.
Ask about extension stages throughout the entire stay.
Separate SSP and card fees from the extension fee.
Identify who receives and follows up on the documents.
Request a receipt and the next due date.
Check official requirements before travel and before each extension.

We do not give a fixed amount because fees and requirements may change. This is general planning information, not a substitute for immigration instructions or up-to-date official checks.
