Student Visas: Types & Documents

Student visa types across major destinations.

US F-1 (with I-20, interview required), UK Student Visa (with CAS, points-based), Canada Study Permit (with LOA), Australia Subclass 500 (with COE), Japan Student Visa (with COE), Korea D-2.

Passport, photo, application form, school admission (I-20/CAS/COE), funds covering first-year tuition and living, academic records, and language scores. Non-official-language documents need translation.

Start 3–6 months before the course. The top refusal reasons are insufficient funds, unclear study purpose and immigrant intent. Be ready to explain your course and plan clearly.
