Student Visa

A student visa is an official travel document issued to international students who wish to pursue higher education abroad. It grants the legal right to live, study, and in some cases, work part-time in the host country during the course of study. For Indian students, a student visa is the first step toward accessing world-class education, global exposure, and international career opportunities.
