According to the legislation (1440/2016) a 50 euro handling fee is applicable. The fee is to be paid in LABshop:Study time extension – handling fee

Add the following note to the payment: handling fee of right to study.

  1. The receipt of payment must include the name of the student, and the bank archiving code, which proves that the payment has been executed.
