Introduction
A study visa is a document issued by the Indian government
to allow foreign citizens to enter India for the purpose of study. The document
allows you to stay in India for a period not exceeding 30 months. You can apply
for this visa while you are on vacation or on your way back home after
completing your studies, provided there are no other impediments preventing its
issuance. Study Visa can be obtained only if you have studied at least three
years in one foreign country and have passed an exam called Common Academic
Entrance Test (CAET).
You are required to meet some set criteria to obtain a study visa in India.
You need to have the following documents ready before submitting a visa
application.
You are required to meet some set criteria to obtain a study
visa in India. You need to have the following documents ready before submitting
a visa application:
● Proof
of English proficiency, if you do not have any academic degree in English and
want to study abroad for higher studies in India. This can be provided by
either an official certificate or testimonial letter from your
university/college professor along with his/her signature on it showing that
he/she has assessed your language skills and they are satisfied with them as
per their standards (and not just based on whether or not you have passed the
final exam). Another option is taking up courses at an English-medium school
which offers native speakers as teachers and then submitting their test results
as proof of proficiency in speaking English fluently without any accent or
dialectal variations - this will also help strengthen case against other
reasons like lack of money etc., which may lead one back home sooner than
later!
● A
supporting letter from your parents or guardians stating how much money they've
spent so far on studying abroad through scholarships etc., how long has been
spent away from home each year under such circumstances due solely because they
wanted their kids' education improved further than what could possibly happen
otherwise due lack thereof...
English proficiency proof
● You
must have a minimum score in TOEFL/IELTS. If you are applying for a course in
English, you don't need to provide proof of English proficiency.
● If
your college has an English language requirement, then you will need to provide
proof of English proficiency.
A supporting letter from your parents or guardians
To apply for a study visa, you will need to submit certain
documents. One of these is a supporting letter from your parents or guardians.
The letter should be on letterhead, with the name of the student, course name
and duration of the course written at its top. It should also mention why you
need a visa in addition to this one and how long it will take before your
current visa expires. You should also mention that once approved by Immigration
Authorities (IAs), they will grant their approval by issuing a stamp on their
passports which states that they have been granted temporary residency status
in India until further notice. Finally, if possible include either an address
where they can send mail as well as telephone numbers where they can reach them
easily while living here!
Valid travel document passport
You need to have a valid passport that is at least six
months old and has been valid for at least 180 days after the date of your
application. The passport must be machine readable, i.e., you cannot apply for
an eVisa if your passport is not machine readable or contains any other types
of errors like stamps or visas.
The following are some of the things that you should check
before applying:
● Make
sure that there aren't any holes in it (i.e., tears). If there are any holes on
either side then they will be filled up with glue which makes them unreadable
by machines; therefore, if this happens then don't worry because we can always
get them fixed by our office staff!
● Check
whether or not all pages have been filled out properly with data about yourself
as well as about anyone else who will accompany/travel with you on this trip
overseas; also make sure all other details pertaining to these individuals such
as name(s) address etcetera are present within their respective fields without
any mistakes being made while doing so."
Course details
When you apply for a study visa, the course details should
be provided by the institution. If your school or college doesn't have this
information, they may not be able to provide a Study Visa application form. The
following are some of the questions that would be asked in an Indian study visa
application:
● What
is your course name?
● How
long will it take?
● Where
do you want to go for your studies (country)?
● Which
city or state are you applying from?
Proof of financial means to pay for the course and your stay while you are
studying in India.
You need to have a proof of financial means to pay for your
course, tuition fees and living expenses. The proof should be in the form of a
bank statement or a letter from your sponsor. This document must show that you
have enough money in your bank account for at least six months after receiving
your visa.
Two passport size photographs
● Size
of the photograph: The size of your photograph should be 2" x 2".
● How
to prepare the photograph: You should make sure that there is no glare from any
light source, or any reflection in it. If you are using a digital camera, make
sure that you have turned off all lights and set up your photo so that there is
no reflection on any part other than where you want it placed on your passport.
● How
to submit the photograph: You can either send it via mail or drop off at
embassy/consulate's office in person with original documents for processing.
Study Visa is a must if you would like to pursue your studies in India.
You must apply for a study visa before you start studying.
You need to have a valid passport and visa, along with other documents required
by the Indian Embassy in your country. If you are not Indian, then you will
also need to apply for an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card prior to
entering India as this helps in getting rid of some problems during immigration
and stay at the airport when entering India.
Conclusion
The study visa is a must if you would like to pursue your
studies in India. You need to be aware of the best way to apply for it and then
submit your documents properly so that they can be approved by the Indian
embassy or consulate. You may also get information on how much time it will
take before you receive your visa letter, which will help you plan accordingly.
