d) For administrative purposes, our school (Magyar Iskola Kft.) can provide a certificate of school attendance for prospective students.
Important Update: The new immigration law (Act XC of 2023) establishes new legal grounds, and the previous "Other purposes" category is no longer included. Therefore, this document can no longer be used to justify the purpose of stay.
The school can issue the certificate only if students complete our application form and pay the full course fee. The maximum duration is 3 modules (up to 6 months). Please note that course fees are non-refundable once the document is issued. If a student is unable to start the in-person course for any reason, the fee can be applied to our online courses.
