Op 19 juni 2025 heeft het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie een uitspraak gedaan naar aanleiding van een verwijzingsvraag van de Franstalige Rechtbank van Eerste Aanleg te Brussel over beroepsprocedures na weigering van studentenvisa. De verwijzing volgde op zorgen geuit door Belgische advocaten en de NGO CIRÉ, die benadrukten dat late kennisgeving van weigeringen vaak verhindert dat studenten effectief beroep kunnen instellen. Het Hof verduidelijkte dat, hoewel geen spoedprocedure verplicht is, nationale systemen moeten waarborgen dat visumbeslissingen en daaraan gerelateerde beroepsprocedures tijdig worden afgehandeld, zodat een zinvolle rechterlijke toets mogelijk is.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the substantial measures taken by EU and OECD countries to prevent the spread of the virus are having direct and indirect impacts on international students coming to those countries. While the long-term consequences are difficult to predict, the immediate impacts are already visible, for example, the processing of new applications or renewing of residence permits has in many cases been hindered or suspended, with consequences for international students already present in the host country. In addition, the abrupt downturn in economic activity has had a significant impact across many sectors, with international students facing the loss of their part time jobs or reduced or lost incomes, which could have an impact on their ability to continue their studies or find a job or start a business following their graduation.
