What is a Student Visa?

A student visa is an official authorization issued by a country's immigration authority that allows international students to legally live and study there for the full duration of their academic program.

In many countries it also permits part-time work — typically 20 hours per week — while studying. Each country has its own visa types, documentation requirements, and eligibility criteria, which is why professional guidance significantly improves your chances of approval.
