- Everything, down to food and education, is free for visiting students.

- Knowledge of Greek is not required.
- Greek diplomas are in demand all over the world.

To study in Greece without paying, you must provide:
- Certificate of secondary education with a score of at least 4. Otherwise, the applicant will not even be able to participate in the competition.
- A certificate from the bank on the financial condition of the student's family.

Free education in Belgium
The difficulties of obtaining knowledge at universities in Belgium are that only 2% of visiting students are taken there every year. And this means that the selection is very tough. According to the rules, the number of Belgian citizens in universities should be greater. 
Of course, in order to get your place, a citizen of another country can pay an additional fee - 2000 Euros. But you need to do this 10 months before the start of enrollment in the course.
Foreign guests of the Belgian University, of course, are given grants to gain knowledge and free places. Just after passing the entrance exams, you need to apply for participation in the NATO, WHO, UNESCO and UN competition. All conditions can be found on the websites of these organizations. Each applicant must be fluent in the state and English languages.
Knowledge of the language of communication is necessary at least at the initial level.
Free education in the Balkans
Serbian universities give their foreign applicants grants to gain knowledge. The budget place includes scholarships, tuition without payment and health insurance. But getting such a grant is not easy. You need to collect the following papers: 
- School leaving certificate or certificate of the first higher education already received.
- Bank statement confirming financial security.
- Certificate stating that you have no criminal record.
- Conclusion about the healthy state of the body.
- Passport (copy and original).
In addition, entrance exams are held, which determine whether the applicant will give money for education or not. If you did not manage to enter a certain university, you can send papers to another 16 Serbian universities.
Universities in Romania and universities in Hungary have the same laws. But the universities of Croatia and the universities of Slovenia cannot provide education without paying their students from other countries. There, for a year of obtaining knowledge at a regular university, you will need to pay about 2000-2500 euros.
Free education in Portugal
If you are a citizen of the European Union or are going to study in Portugal for an exchange from another university, then you can safely apply for a free place. It's not so easy for those coming from the CIS to get there. But there are still free places.
There are no less requirements for visitors than for natives. Everyone should know the Portuguese language and the culture of the people perfectly, no matter if you are a local or a visitor. This is taken into account when passing the entrance test. Before it, you need to show a list of papers: 
- Certificate of secondary education.
- Health insurance.
- Certificate from the bank on financial stability.
- Grade for the Portuguese language proficiency test.
- Visa.
In order to get an excellent mark for your knowledge of the Portuguese language, you can pre-register for courses that are held at the university of your choice. It is best to start preparing for admission in advance, and not a few weeks before applying.
Universities in Portugal are approved as one of the best and cheapest in the world.
But there are other countries that are popular among foreign applicants. So, for example, the universities of Mexico, Brazil, Thailand do not provide grants for budget places for visiting applicants, but there you can start getting a scholarship because of excellent studies. Thus, at least some money is returned to the hands. It is not difficult to start studying at universities, the same documents are required everywhere. It is clear that the level of education there is much lower than in Europe, but their diplomas are also valid all over the world.
Universities in Ireland and universities in Iceland also do not differ in free teaching. They train future qualified employees, the teaching of knowledge in these states is able to compete with the teaching system, for example, in Britain. Thus, registration of admission to institutes there is far from cheap. Educational institutions in Ireland very often give part-time jobs to their students.
Of course, there are many universities abroad, waiting for visiting applicants. Many easily give away state-funded places, while others teach only newcomers with the help of a grant. Do not forget that studying abroad is possible with a valid visa that does not expire in the middle of the semester. If this happens, then it will be difficult to recover in an educational institution.
Free education outside your country is quite real! You can study in many of the above countries.
