Every destination has its own student visa, documents and process. See what applies to your country, follow the steps in order and avoid common mistakes, then let a counsellor prepare you.
General guide, not legal or immigration advice. Visa rules, fees, documents and processing times change often and depend on your nationality and course. Always check the official government website of your destination, and ask us to confirm the latest requirements.
Choose a destination to see the name of the student visa, the key document you need first and a checklist of what is typically required.
Tick each item off as you get it ready.
Requirements vary by course, university and nationality, and they change. We confirm the current list for you.
The order of steps is much the same in every destination, even though the details differ.
Get your acceptance document from the university, such as a CAS, I-20, CoE or letter of acceptance.
Prepare bank statements and any loan or sponsor documents in the form your destination requires.
Collect your passport, academic records, test scores, photographs and country-specific items.
Complete the application on the official government website and pay the visa fees.
Book and attend your appointment at the visa centre, embassy or consulate. Book early, as waits vary.
Processing times vary. Avoid non-refundable travel bookings until you have your decision.
Check your visa details, arrange housing and insurance and read your arrival instructions.
We can prepare your documents and check them before you apply.
Good preparation makes a clear difference.
Most refusals can be avoided with careful preparation.
What students ask us most about student visas.
Apply as soon as you have your acceptance document and your funds and documents are ready, and within any time window your destination allows. Processing times vary, so start early.
It depends on the destination, the course length and your university. Each country sets its own financial requirement, and some also require the funds to be held for a set period. We confirm the current amount for you.
It depends on the country. The USA requires a visa interview for most students, while other destinations may ask for biometrics or an interview only in some cases. Check the requirement for your destination.
Many destinations allow limited part-time work during your studies, with limits that differ by country and course. Check the conditions on your own visa before you take any job.
Read the refusal reasons carefully. Depending on the country, you may be able to reapply with stronger documents or appeal. A counsellor can review the reasons with you and advise on the next step.
