How to Avoid Having Your Student Visa Rejected!

Hello everyone, this is AWork Study Abroad.

Before heading off on a language study trip,

quite a few people worry about visa issues.

What does "student visa" mean by definition? (學生visa)

: A visa that permits a foreign national who wishes to enter a country

for the purpose of education to enter and stay

The reason so many people feel anxious about visas

is that visa approval sometimes doesn't go through properly.

So in today's AWork Beginner's Guide post,

we're going to briefly explain how to avoid having your visa rejected.

Let's get started now :)

The purpose of a visa can be categorized depending on the purpose of your visit to the country.

In many countries, only people holding a student visa

are allowed to work part-time for around 20 hours a week on average.

If a long-term study trip feels like a financial burden,

this also has the advantage of letting you study while earning living expenses.

< Things to Watch Out For? >

Among students who apply for a student visa,

there are sometimes cases where the visa gets rejected.

In the case of the U.S., once a student visa application is rejected, 

it becomes very difficult to reapply and get the visa issued.

You may face tougher questions than in the first interview,

and there's a high chance you'll need to prepare reinforced documents as well.

That's why it's even more important to make everything clear when you prepare the first time.

< What You Need to Get a Student Visa >

This differs from country to country — some have complicated procedures, and others are relatively simple.

First, let's look at it based on applying for the F1, the most representative U.S. student visa.

Passport

Visa photo

Certificate of enrollment or employment/career certificate

Certificate of highest education, transcript

Family relationship certificate

Financial documents

Letter of acceptance

DS-160

Visa interview appointment confirmation

SEVIS fee receipt

Other required documents

When preparing for a U.S. student visa, you need this wide variety of documents.

As you probably know, your passport needs at least 6 months of validity remaining,

so be sure to carefully check the required documents for the country you're visiting

before applying for your visa — that's important.

< How to Avoid Having Your Visa Rejected? >

To avoid getting your visa rejected,

apply with the mindset of making the purpose of your language study trip clear. 

Student visas most often get rejected when the submitted documents aren't clear,

when the account balance is judged insufficient, or when the purpose of stay doesn't appear to be study.

Since the main purpose of getting a student visa is education,

the more detailed you are about your educational purpose for visiting, the higher your approval rate goes.

So if you clearly state your purpose and write out a plan,

the chance of your visa being rejected will also go down.

Please refer to this and prepare the documents that match

the language study destination you're planning to go to,

so that you can get your visa approved on the very first try :)
