Ireland [Top of Page]

Please provide confirmation either in the form of a recent letter from your college/university or your student card; preferably a letter.

Students must also provide confirmation of medical insurance. A letter from your health insurance provider or a copy of your health insurance card would suffice in this case.

  1. The applicant must undertake not to enter full time employment while in the State other than casual employment as defined in the student visa guidelines.
  2. The applicant must undertake not to visit the UK or any other country without a valid entry visa and a re-entry visa for Ireland.
  3. Should the applicant enter another country illegally, or attempt to re-enter Ireland without a re-entry visa, the applicant could be refused entry.
  4. The applicant must undertake not to breach any of the other conditions of his/her permission to remain in the State.
  5. The applicant should be aware that should he/she breach any of the conditions of his/her study visa his/her case will be reviewed and consideration will be given to his/her deportation.

Evidence of Course
The college should provide an original letter, indicating that the person has been accepted on a full-time course of education entailing 15 hours or more college attendance per week. Provisional letters offering a place are not acceptable. The educational and other credentials of a school will be taken into consideration by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in decisions on visa applications. Recognition by the Department of Education and Science through ACELS meets this criterion in so far as English language schools are concerned.

Fees
Evidence must be supplied that the course fees have been paid in full. However, while this is desirable, it is not expected that an applicant pay more than €6,250 prior to visa approval. Evidence of payment may be incorporated into the above 'evidence of course' letter which should include accommodation, fees and all other relevant charges.

Private Medical Insurance
Every student should have full private medical insurance.

Family Members
Applicants should provide details of immediate family members who are already residing in Ireland or in other EU countries.

Applicant's Character
There should be nothing in the person's personal history which would give rise to concerns on public policy, public security or public health grounds. Occasionally, applications are refused on these grounds, despite the production of all of the required documents for reasons which will not be disclosed. Public policy is taken to include the protection of the common travel area between Ireland and the UK and accordingly refusals or negative immigration history in the UK will be taken into account. Where an individual has been refused a visa and / or entry into the UK, details of refusal should be provided to enable a decision to be made on the case's individual merits.

Applicants Self-sufficiency
Applicants must provide evidence that they have sufficient funds to support their stay in Ireland, including emergencies, without recourse to State funds. This is important as recourse to State funds might have a detrimental effect on the person's future immigration prospects. Bank statements which clearly identify the holder together with a translation and details of conversion rates (if applicable) at the approximate date of application are required. If you will be supported by a scholarship, full details of this funding.

Applicants Profile
The applicant's profile should appear to match the course of studies proposed. Colleges should endeavour either through interview or through their agents to satisfy themselves as to the bona fides of the prospective student. Information regarding checks / interviews of the candidate which have been undertaken by the school or its agents can be submitted in support of the application. The applicant's prospects of obtaining a visa are enhanced by the submission of verified details of their profile, including family background, history of study etc..

Employment Details of Applicant in Country of Origin
If the applicant is in employment the employer must state:

  1. Tthat all course costs are being met by the employer or, if the employee is meeting the costs, the employer must state that in the opinion of the employer the employee has the financial resources to meet all such costs;
  2. The length of leave being granted to the employee which must not differ from the stated duration of the course on which the Applicant has been accepted;
  3. The purpose of participating in the proposed course of study.

Accommodation
Full details of your accommodation in the State if organised.

Curriculum Vitae
A detailed CV confirming any previous employment and full study details, including educational qualifications to date.

English Language Ability
Evidence that you have a sufficient level of English to fully undertake the course.

Extension of Permission
Full details of course duration should be disclosed in the initial application in so far as they are known. If there is any probability that a person intends to study for longer than 90 days (3 months), they should ensure that they apply for a 'D' study visa. Persons who seek to study for less than this period can apply for a 'C' study visa. In the case of an applicant with a 'C' visa, extensions of permission to remain will only be entertained where a written request is made to the Immigration authorities and will be given in very exceptional circumstances only. The following details must be supplied to allow the request to be considered and applications that do not supply all the required documents will be refused.
- Itemised details of payment of relevant fees and proof of payment
- Details of the course of studies proposed
- Accommodation details identifying host family
- Evidence of financial self sufficiency
- Details of the student's attendance at the initial course of studies must be lodged
- The particular circumstances of the applicant will be a major issue in the decision
- A copy of the passport exhibiting the original visa must be lodged

Foundation/Preparatory Course
With regards to Extension of Permission above, full details of proposed course of study should be disclosed with the initial application. Visas will be granted for foundation / preparatory courses, leading to longer, non-language study (including diploma / degree courses) in other institutions where the applicants have disclosed their intentions initially and have satisfied the Department regarding all of the above criteria (including full fees, subject to the €6,250 ceiling referred to at the section Fees above) for both courses and for the entire period of study proposed.

Re-Entry Visas
Students who have a valid reason for leaving the State during their period of study and who can show that they are genuinely continuing with their studies must apply for re-entry visas in Ireland.

Entitlement to take up casual employment
Only students attending a full time course of at least one year's duration leading to a qualification recognised by the Minister for Education and Science will be entitled to take up casual employment (defined as up to 20 hours part time work per week or full time work during normal college vacation periods). Access to employment is denied to all other students. Students attending a foundation/preparatory course prior to enrolment on such a full time course are not entitled to work until they have commenced that full time course. The concession to take up employment ceases upon the expiry of permission to remain as a student. Having been in casual employment will not, in itself, entitle a person to further permission to remain.

N.B.: Unless a student is attending a course recognised by an Irish university, the Dublin Institute of Technology or by HETAC (Higher Education & Training Awards Council) or FETAC (Further Education and Training Awards Council), the student should not assume that he/she will be allowed to access employment during their stay in Ireland.

Permission to remain and renewal of permission to remain
If a student is permitted to enter the State and the course of studies is for a period of greater than three months the student must register with the Garda (Police) National Immigration Bureau and obtain permission to remain in the State. Permission is usually granted for the duration of the study term of the course up to a maximum of 12 months for any single period. Permission may be renewed where a course is of greater than 12 months duration. Permission to remain will not be granted for a total period of more than 18 months unless the student is attending a full time course of at least one year's duration leading to a qualification recognised by the Minister for Education and Science.

New Zealand [Top of Page]

If you are not already in New Zealand and are applying to New Zealand to study, you must complete the requirements for the issue of a student visa. You will be given the required forms by the New Zealand Government office (the visa issuing officer) in your country. Requirements for a student visa will normally include :

  1. VERY IMPORTANT  :  A written offer of a place, which notifies you that you have been accepted by  an educational institution in New Zealand to study there.    

  2. EITHER  -  A receipt for payment of course fees (You are not required to produce the receipt before your application has been approved in principle)   
    OR - Evidence that you are exempt from course fees. For e.g. A New Zealand Government Scholarship.

  3. A complete and signed ‘Application for Student Visa’ form, with a passport-size photograph.   You will be required to pay a non-refundable student visa application fee.

  4. A guarantee of accommodation - a written assurance from an educational institution or other person that suitable residential accommodation is available to you in New Zealand.

  5. Your passport or certificate of identity, which must be valid for the period of time for which you are applying to study.

  6. Evidence that funds are available for your maintenance throughout your stay. One of the four is acceptable as evidence

  • A completed ‘Sponsoring a student’ form, in which your sponsor gives a financial   undertaking that he or she can transfer to New Zealand NZ $7,000 a year : this amount is considered minimum for a year’s living expenses.

  • A letter from your educational institution confirming that your living expenses have already been paid for as part of your fees.

  • A bank document showing that funds of the required amount will be available to you in New Zealand ($1000 for each month of your stay for short term study, $7000 a year for long term study)

  • An award of a full New Zealand scholarship

If you intend studying in New Zealand for more than 24 months, you will need :

a) Completed New Zealand Immigration service medical and chest X-ray certificates

b) Character clearances, which must be two original character references (if under 17 years of age), or a local police clearance (if you are 17 and over). You will be advised of the procedure for obtaining these by the New Zealand government office.  

All these documents are essential before a student visa is issued. When the overseas New Zealand government office is satisfied that your application is complete and in order, you will be issued a student visa.

South Africa [Top of Page]

The first step in the process of obtaining a student visa should be to select the educational institution you would like to attend. There is a wide and extremely diverse range of academic and vocational institutions offering educational training in the United States, and many of these have separate offices catering to foreign student affairs. School officials working in these offices are typically trained to assist you throughout the process, and should be called upon for guidance at each step along the way.

At Consulates General Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, we also employ student advisors whose jobs are to help you in answering any questions you may have about studying in the United States. Please feel free to schedule a meeting with any of these individuals at your convenience, as they can provide valuable guidance to assist you throughout this daunting process.

Once you have received acceptance into an educational program, the institution will issue you a valid Form I-20. When you arrive at the Consulate to apply for your visa, please bring all four pages of this form; its purpose is to tell the consular officer that you have met all of the requirements to receive admittance into the institution. In addition to the Form I-20, please complete nonimmigrant visa application forms DS-156, DS-157 (if applicable) and DS-158. At the time of your interview with the consular officer, you will be required to submit each of these forms, along with evidence that you have paid the non-refundable application fee, a photograph conforming to our required dimensions, transcripts and diplomas from any previous institutions attended, and financial evidence showing that you have sufficient funds to cover your first year's expenses in the United States. Also, in addition to the application fee that must be deposited into our Nedbank account, there is an $85.00 reciprocity fee that must be paid in cash at the Consulate before your visa can be issued

United Kingdom [Top of Page]

Visa applications have to be made on IM2A forms, which are available free of cost at the British Embassies. This form has to be filled up by the student and submitted to the embassy, along with the Visa application fee and the required documents as mentioned below.

Immigration Rules for Students

  • You must intend to study at a publicly funded university or college, a
     bonafide private institution or a fee-paying independent school.
  • You must  be able to and intend to follow a full time degree course, or a weekday, full time course at a single institution involving at least 15 hours of organized, daytime study per week.
  • You must be able to pay for your course and the living expenses of your  husband or wife and children (if they are with you) without working in  UK or claiming public funds.
  • You must not intend to work in UK unless you are accepted for a
     course lasting longer than six months, when you may work part-time or
     during vacations.
  • You must intend to leave UK at the end of your studies.

Documents Required For a Student Visa

  • A letter of acceptance on the course

This will be a letter from your institution confirming that a place has been offered to you and that the course is full-time as defined by the immigration law. The letter should state how long the course will last. Where your course is more advanced and specialized, the letter should also state what level of English is needed for the course (giving minimum test marks, if appropriate) and confirm that you satisfy this requirement.

  • Evidence that you can pay the course fees and support yourself and your family, if applicable

Depending on your circumstances, this could include evidence of government sponsorship, a letter from a sponsor in UK confirming they can support you, together with evidence that they can do this, and/or your own bank statements. You should also provide a letter from your place of study stating the full cost of the course, what arrangements are acceptable for payment and whether you have already paid fees or a deposit.

Accommodation
Although the immigration rules do not require unaccompanied students to show that accommodation has been arranged, your place of study may have given you information about its availability, and you should bring this to the attention of the ECO. If your family is coming with you to the UK, you will need to show that there will adequate accommodation for them. If your place of study cannot confirm that family accommodation will be available, you may have to consider travelling to the UK alone and making arrangements for your family to join you when you have found somewhere to live.

The Interview

Interview is a part of your visa application process. 

The interview is to give you the opportunity to clarify for the ECO certain parts of your application. The ECO will be aiming to satisfy him or herself that your study plans are genuine and workable.

The interview is a normal part of the process, but you may feel quite nervous before it and find it an uncomfortable experience. ECO’s are trained professionals who will try to make the process as painless as possible, but the questions are necessarily very direct and personal.

You should prepare for such an interview carefully. In particular:

  • Be familiar with all your study plans; why you chose the particular institution and course; how the course will help your future career;
  • Be clear about the cost of living and the course and your finances: do you have enough money to complete the course? Can you prove it?
  • Be as clear as you can about your likely future career in your country: what are you going to do on your return

United States of America [Top of Page]

To enter the United States as a student, you must apply at a US Embassy or Consulate for a student visa. You are not required to make an appointment in India to apply for a visa. You can apply for a visa only after you receive the requisite I-20 or IAP-66 form from the institution you have been accepted to. The information outlined below is designed to help you understand the visa process.


There are mainly two types of student visas:

  • F-1 (Student Visa). The F-1 visa is for full-time students enrolled in an academic or language program. F-1 students may stay in the US for the full length of their academic program plus 60 days. F-1 students must maintain a full-time course load and complete their studies by the expiration date listed on the I-20 form.

  • J-1 (Exchange Visitor Visa). The J-1 visa is issued for students needing practical training that is not available in their home country to complete their academic program. The training must be directly related to the academic program. The J-1 visa obligates the student to return to their home country for a minimum of two years after the end of their studies in the US before being eligible to apply for an immigrant (permanent residence) visa.

The rules and regulations governing the entrance of all international students into the United States are complicated and should be properly looked into before applying for a visa.


Applicants should apply at the consular section of the American Embassy any working day, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:30 and 10:00 AM.

Documents required are :

  • Valid Passport
  • One Passport size photograph (Black and White or Colour)
  • A Non-immigrant Visa Application (Form 156) available from the Consular section.
  • Form I-20 executed by the authorizing official of institution concerned, signed by the applicant.
  • Evidence of financial ability to cover the costs of the education and maintenance involved
  • Visa fee to be paid in Indian Rupees by Bank Draft

When to apply :

An applicant may apply for a student Visa not earlier than 90 days before the registration date specified on the FORM I-20. If the registration date is already passed or the applicant cannot reasonably expect to arrive at the school by the registration date, the applicant should obtain an amended I-20 or a letter of extension from the issuing institution stating by what date the applicant may arrive.

After the Completed application forms along with the documents are submitted;

In most cases, the visa will be issued within a few hours or days of the submission of the application. In some instances, the process may take longer depending on the time of year, consular caseload or other factors.

If your application is denied, you should ask the Consular Officer for a "written denial decision." This will provide you with the official reason for your visa denial.


1) Acceptance by University

Acceptance of the applicant by an institution of learning for a full course of study is essential. Evidence in support of this requirement consists of a Form I-20 (Certification of Eligibility) filled out by the accepting school, and signed by the applicant and presented with the visa application.

2) Knowledge of English Language

Evidence that the applicant has sufficient scholastic preparation and knowledge of the English language, if required by the school to undertake a full course of study in the accepting institution. Proof of the required scholastic preparation is usually established by the I-20 from the institution involved and the entries on the form. To establish their knowledge of English, applicants are encouraged to take the "Test of English as a Foreign Language" (TOEFL), available in many Indian cities.

3) Proof of Financial Resources

This involves proof that the applicant has sufficient funds to cover the total cost of education and stay in the U.S. This implies evidence of readily available funds to meet all expenses for the first year, and of the availability of funds for the following years from reliable financial resources. To satisfy this requirement applicants may show that funds are available from the educational institution, from their personal resources or from sponsors, (normally a very close relative) who have agreed to pay for their education.

If the support is from the educational institution, in the form of a scholarship, assistantship, on-campus employment, etc.,it is usually noted on the I-20.

If the support is from India, the applicant must produce bank books and statements or other documents showing a total amount in rupees equal to the dollar cost of the first year, and evidence regarding sources of funds for subsequent years. If the student is not paying his own expenses, an affidavit of support executed by the sponsor and sworn before a first class magistrate (in India) must also be presented, along with financial evidence indicating the ability to carry out the undertaking.

If the support is from outside India, the sponsor must provide a letter from his/her bank indicating that the sponsor has sufficient funds to cover the costs involved, together with a current notarized Affidavit of support stating willingness to finance the applicant’s educational expenses. The sponsor should also provide evidence of current employment and income.   

With regard to sponsorship, particular weight is given to promises of support from immediate family members. Affidavits from less than immediate relatives and family friends do not carry the same degree of commitment as do affidavits from immediate family members and should be accompanied by a statement explaining in detail what compelling reasons the person has to carry out the promises made on the affidavit.

The Embassy emphasizes that the commitment contained in an affidavit of support is not a mere formality. The U.S. Government regards Affidavits of support to be binding, legal documents that oblige the sponsor to be financially responsible for the student during his/her time in U.S.

4) Proof of Non-Immigrant Intent (Existence of permanent residence)

It is difficult to prove that you intend to return to India after your studies are complete even though you sincerely intend to. This is because by law, all non-immigrants are viewed as "intending immigrants." This means that the visa officer is under the assumption that you will be coming to the US and will remain in the US permanently.

You should carry with you documents that demonstrate ties to India and would help convince the consul of your intent to return. Such documents may include:

1.      Proof of land ownership

2.      Economic and Social ties are very important: An applicant's future role in a family business, academic institution, government agency, professional organization are all possibilities. Bring letters from appropriate parties to demonstrate such facts.

3.     If other family members have studied in the U.S. and returned it should be mentioned.

4.    Letters from prospective employers recognizing the need for specialized training offered in the U.S. can also serve to aid an application in the applicant’s home country.

5.    Providing an explanation of why equivalent educational training is not available in your home country, if applicable.

Most importantly, Consular Officials want to hear from the applicant. At no time, is it recommended that the applicants bring family members with them to the interview.

If you prove to the Consular Official’s satisfaction that you intend to come to the U.S. solely for the purpose of study and will return to India upon completion of the program, a visa stamp will be affixed to a page in your passport. You should apply for a multiple entry F-1 student visa. With a multiple entry visa you can travel between US and India during the duration of your stay in the Unites States.
