I currently study in Belgium and recently my residence permit from Latvia has expired and cannot be renewed. Which means I cannot stay in Europe. However, I study here and cannot leave. My student visa was rejected back in December.
I asked the university if they can do anything and they said they cannot and told me to apply for a visa again in Istanbul (That's where the visa application center is).
Now my only solution is to hire a lawyer but it's too expensive. So I am here to ask you guys, what should I do? I don't have any legal base here and literally staying illegally here I guess. I believe my best option is to leave right now and apply for a visa again. But I was wondering if there's any other way to stay here (Belgium) and obtain a visa somehow.
The reason I am scared to leave right now is that because my visa may get rejected again and am gonna miss exams in June.
