About Lesson

Student Visas

Overview

This lesson examines the visa requirements for students. Visa requirements may be general (i.e., relevant for all students) or specific (i.e., applicable to certain circumstances).

When students go to a destination country, they need to understand what their particular student visa allows them to do and requires them not to do. Therefore, the student counsellor needs to be aware of:

  • The conditions that a student visa may contain;
  • The responsibilities that students have in order to comply with these conditions when they begin their studies;
  • Other related issues such as working, travelling, and staying in the destination country.

Focus Questions

  1. Why do students need to obtain a student visa?
  2. What is the relationship between visa types, course types, and the duration of visas?
  3. How are visas processed?
  4. What are the financial requirements of a student visa?
  5. What are the character and health requirements of a student visa?
  6. What are the language requirements for an international student?
  7. What are the requirements for students who are minors?
