Visa Assistance

Student VISA

A visa is an official document issued by the chosen country, containing details such as entry and exit dates, purpose of visit, etc. It permits the legal entry of the applicant into the destination country and is affixed to the passport, recording important information like visiting purpose, entry and exit dates, etc. The applicant is expected to adhere to the specified entry and exit dates, as overstaying may result in legal consequences, including being barred from re-entering the country until a specified time.

For international travel, obtaining a student visa is mandatory. Applicants must submit certain original documents to the embassy of the chosen country for higher education to secure the visa.
