The Cabinet of Ministers has also granted the Centre for the Admission of International Students the authority to accredit recruitment agencies and maintain a register of them. Such partners will be able to recruit international applicants, support them during the admissions process and assist with the preparation of documents.

In particular, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will process visa applications, the Ministry of Health will organise medical examinations, and the Compulsory Health Insurance Fund will issue insurance policies.
