DTU international student arrival time

Hi everyone, is anyone willing to share some information about what the visa process for international students is like?

Specifically, I was informed on my admissions letter that they would put my visa start date at Sept 1st, the first day classes start. Is this normal? Even the website states that usually the start date is August 1st, in which case I would have enough time to set up the basics before school starts.

Also, roughly, how do the visa applications usually go, whats the time line?

Thanks!

You should already have received st1 from Siri for you to complete. After biometrics it takes around 2 months. And no it’s not sep 1, it’s aug 1.

Thanks! I'll ask for this st1. I'm just confused because they worded the letter pretty strongly, along the lines of "your classes start on Sept 1st, therefore thats when your visa starts." I'm not sure what to make of it tbh
