Study visas are granted to people who wish to move and study at an officially recognized educational institution. This includes the study of different programs, fields and subjects. It is valid for the duration of the course for which they are issued, alternatively 36 months for school and 24 months for other institutions.
As a holder of a study visa, you may also apply for permission to work for the purposes of getting work experience, as part of your studies to obtain a diploma or degree by submitting:
The Department’s consent to get practical training as part of your studies is issued free of charge provided that you are a registered student and that your study visa remains valid for the entire duration of the training period.Alternatively, as a foreigner studying at a higher educational institution with a valid study visa, you may work part-time for no more than 20 hours per week.
Studying abroad requires studious planning to say the least. Students are always advised to plan their admission/ application process keeping in mind university deadlines and working backwards. Students are required to appear for English eligibility tests as per the university policy and also have required documents in place for the smooth processing of their application. Hence, students are always advised to apply 3-4 months in advance to avoid any last-minute rush. Applicants seeking financial aid, scholarships and education loans should add another couple of extra months to the process as these applications take more time.
Study Visas are often classified on the basis of two broad difference points.
Depending on the length of occupancy of the program the applicant is planning to undertake, the countries often divide the student visa into Short Term Student Visas or Long-term Student Visas. Often, the short-term visas are given to students who plan to take a short course of a language or a diploma certificate course and the entire duration is often limited to 90 days (3 months). Long term visas, on the other hand, are given to students who are planning to take up degree courses extending beyond the 3-month period. These could include the intern ships and small certificate programs of 6 months and so on. European Union Countries often have this broad classification.
Irrespective of the duration of the course, some countries classify the study visas basis the type of student. This could be the level of degree applied for (undergraduate, graduate or doctoral), exchange student or student applying for a vocational/ diploma course. Broadly speaking, as these visas also depend on the type, of course, the student is applying for, these are somewhat linked to the tenure. However, in these categories, the first point of distinction is not how long the program would be for. If you are, for an instance, an exchange student, you could be going for 3month or 3 years, the category would still be based on the type of student and not the occupancy.
