Study Visa – Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required for a study visa?
Offer/LOA from a recognized institution, valid passport, academic transcripts, IELTS/TOEFL (as needed), SOP, LORs, proof of funds, photos, medical (if required), and country-specific forms (e.g., GIC/Blocked Account, CAS, OSHC, etc.).
How much money do I need to show as proof of funds?
Varies by country. As a thumb rule: 1 year tuition + 1 year living expenses + travel/insurance. For Canada, GIC may be required; for Germany, a Blocked Account; for the UK, maintenance funds per month for 9 months.
Do I need IELTS/TOEFL? What scores are acceptable?
Most universities accept IELTS/TOEFL/Duolingo. Typical IELTS bands: 6.0–6.5 overall (no band < 6.0) for UG/PG; higher for competitive programs. Exact requirements depend on course & university.
Can I get a study visa with backlogs, gap years, or average grades?
Yes, if the overall profile is justified. We strengthen your SOP, show relevant experience/skills, and select programs with realistic entry criteria to improve admit & visa success.
How long does the study visa process take from start to finish?
Plan 8–16 weeks: applications (2–6 weeks), offer/CAS/LOA (2–4 weeks), funds & medicals (1–2 weeks), visa processing (2–6+ weeks). Peaks/holidays can extend timelines—apply early.
What is GIC/Blocked Account/CAS, and do I need it?
Country-specific financial proofs: GIC (Canada), Blocked Account (Germany), CAS (UK) confirms admission & eligibility. We guide you step-by-step on opening and documentation.
Can I work part-time while studying and bring dependents?
Most countries allow limited part-time work during term (e.g., up to 20 hrs/week) and full-time during breaks. Dependent/spouse rules vary by country & program—ask us for your case.
What if my visa was refused earlier? Can I reapply?
Yes. We analyze refusal reasons (SOP, funds, ties, choice of course), rebuild your file with stronger justification and documents, and reapply with a targeted strategy.
