When shall I apply for a student visa?
Abroad education requires proper planning and guidance. Without a valid passport and visa, candidates would not be allowed to travel overseas. Visa is the official travel document that an individual needs when seeking overseas education. It is advisable to plan your admission and application process considering the university deadlines. Additionally, the candidates are required to appear for the various entrance exams and English eligibility exams according to the university policies. Therefore processing other documents along with these takes a considerable time. Hence, students should apply at least before 3-4 months in order to avoid any kind of issues. On the other hand, candidates seeking financial aid and scholarships should start the process before 4-5 months due to the time taken by these to process.
