PRE-ARRIVAL INFORMATION FOR THE UPCOMING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

This page may give you the ideas of what you need to prepare before your arrival. Beforehand, you may want to visit this website to access the academic calendar at UGM:  https://admission.ugm.ac.id/resources/academic-calendar/ (please note that it may not be updated for the 2025/2026 academic year yet, but it will give you a general idea of the timeline).

Each year, the August intake semester usually starts on the Monday of the second or third week. One week prior, MURP UGM typically conducts a matriculation during the weekdays. Therefore, you are expected to arrive in Yogyakarta before this date and AFTER YOU RECEIVE YOUR STUDENT VISA. We would like to draw your attention to these following matters before your departure.

  1. You will need a 1-year student visa for your studies at UGM.
  2. Your visa will be processed by the Office of International Affairs UGM (OIA UGM) using the data already in our admission system.
  3. You will need to cover the visa application cost, with the procedure guided by the OIA of the Faculty of Engineering (OIA Faculty). It will cost IDR 2,700,000.
  4. For the recipients of the Faculty of Engineering Scholarship, your visa fee will be reimbursed upon arrival and opening a local bank account.
  5. You will get a notification as soon as possible once the visa has been issued.
  6. The visa is expected to be issued 2-3 weeks after your visa payment.
  7. PLEASE NOTE THAT FOREIGN STUDENTS ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FROM ENTERING INDONESIA WITHOUT A STUDENT VISA. Do not enter using a tourist visa or any other type of visa, as this will result in the cancellation of your student visa application. By doing so, you will need to reapply, repay, and leave Indonesia until your student visa is issued.
