The process of preparing your study abroad documents will become easier and more effective with the advice of experienced recruitment counsellors. Hereby, the followings are 09 essential questions for your Student Visa Checklist to ask your counsellor(s). This will help your counsellor understand your concerns, inquiries, and overall goals, which leads to a personalised guidance. 

 

1. When should I begin the application process?

First, you should ask the counsellors or university representatives about admission times and necessary documents required. Specifically: what are the admission procedures at schools and the necessary documents to apply for a student visa? Along with documents to prove your learning process, finances, etc.

Each institution has a different application review process and application deadlines. Once you know the application submission time, you will arrange your preparation timeline at the easiest convenience. Thorough and careful preparation will help your application be more precise and clear, giving you confidence and limiting the anxiety when the submission deadline approaches.



2. Which school is the best choice for the course I am interested in?

If you have researched the major and school of your interests, please share this information and discuss with your counsellor. With this information, they would be able to give you the most useful and appropriate advice.

3. Will this country offer immigration pathway for students after graduation?

If you wish to stay, work and immigrate to the country you would study, it is necessary to research the immigration options for international students after graduation in advance. This plan could also affect your decision on choosing the location, school and the major. Again, the counsellors will base on your will above to give suitable direction.

 4. What qualifications do I need to prepare in Student Visa checklist?

Each university and each industry will have different entry requirements for applicant’s qualifications. If you wish to attend a course that uses English as your main language, you need to demonstrate your proficiency and fluency in English. Some global-recognised English certificates such as IELTS and PTE would be proof of your foreign language proficiency. You can use this certificate during the application process for the school you would like to apply to.

5. How to be cost-efficient in studying abroad?

Studying abroad is considered a big decision not only for yourself but also for your whole family. Currently, there are many ways you can reduce the cost of studying abroad such as seeking scholarships or financial support from the government, industrial organisations or directly from the university/school. Please consult about scholarship programs from counsellors or the school/university representatives and give it a try.


6.
What if my application got rejected?

Your application may get rejected due to objective reasons, remember to keep in mind that you have counsellors who are there to support and advise you in such situations. They will provide you with accurate and helpful guidance to navigate through this challenging time.

7. What are the steps to process the student visa application?

Every country has specific requirements for foreign students. Visa applications can be confusing for first-timers, but experts are available to help you every step of the way. They have the experience and knowledge to guide you and achieve the best possible results.

8. How should I choose accommodation?

After applying for a study abroad program, people often ask about accommodations. Consultants can help you understand the types of accommodations available in your destination country and assist you with searching and preparing based on a global network for studying abroad.

9. How can I quickly integrate into life “in a foreign country”?
To prepare for the integration, it’s best to seek guidance from an experienced consultant. They can help impart necessary skills and knowledge and introduce you to a supportive network of international students who can ease the transition to an unfamiliar environment.
