Requirements for those wishing to obtain a student visa are different for each state. You can go just to study a foreign language of the country for you in courses, go to school or get higher education. All this presupposes a long stay in a foreign state, which requires this permission from the country's authorities. Here are some examples of how the process of obtaining a visa for a study trip to the most popular countries in this sense is carried out.
Instructions
Step 1
In the case of the United States, the process may be delayed, since all applicants (applicants) will need to undergo an interview at the embassy. It can be conditionally divided into two stages: when you are assigned an official date for your interview, and, in fact, the interview itself. You will have to provide a bunch of documents proving that you are going to study, and at the end of it you will definitely leave the United States. In particular, you must have an invitation from the educational institution in which you intend to study - form I-20; a receipt or other document confirming your payment of tuition fees; confirmation that your income (or the income of your parents, if they pay for the trip) will be enough for the entire period of study, excluding part-time work in the United States. The latter can be a bank statement, a certificate from your place of work or your parents, etc.
Step 2
In addition, you will need to pay a $ 200 SEVIS fee. It was designed to monitor the entry of students and participants in migration services exchange programs. This fee is non-refundable in case of visa refusal. Another non-refundable application fee of $ 131 is also not refundable. Another popular study destination is Malta. You can apply with an application to one of the visa centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. This can be done in person or through relatives or travel agencies. The term for obtaining a visa depends on the remoteness of the visa center. In Moscow it can take 5 days, in other cities it can take up to 10 days. The visa fee is 35 euros. In addition to it, the visa center fee is charged.
Step 3
Getting a UK student visa is faster. Often, applicants are not even called in for an interview. You apply to special visa centers. If necessary, an interview can be scheduled, but the period for consideration of the application in this case does not exceed 10 days.
Step 4
If you go to study for a short time (less than 6 months), you will be issued a student visitor visa. Its cost is £ 65. If you are under 18 years old, then you will be issued a child visitor visa. The decision to issue a visa is made using the Points Based Entry Clearance System (PBS). According to it, the educational institution you have chosen must be included in the official list of registered educational institutions, and, as in the case of the United States, you must have supporting documents to support your stay in the UK.
