The EU distinguishes two categories of students: students from a Programme Country and students from a Partner Country.
Programme Country students (Category B students) are students originating from one of the 28 EU Member States or originating from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia or Turkey.
Partner Country students (Category A students) are all other students, unless they were residents or have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in one or several of the Programme Countries. In the latter case, these students are also classified as Category B.
