Need i remind you that application for study visa is quite different from applying to a school. Before you can apply for study visa, you must have choosen a school and satisfy all the admission processes before the school gives you the nod to apply for study visa.

With that being said, lets dive right in to the things you need to apply for study visa and they are:

Letter of acceptance

This shows that you have been accepted by a school to study a particular program for stipulated period of time. Before you can apply for study visa, you must have chosen a school and satisfy all the admission processes; like application fee, uploading of document, statement of purpose etc; before the school gives you the nod to apply for study visa.

International Passport

Before you begin applying to schools at all, you need to get your visa ready and available. The validity should not be less than 6 months.

Proof of funds

This is your bank statement that will proof that you have enough funds to cater for yourself while you are in the country and also pay for your trip back to your home country.

The money in the account is expected to cover for your tuition,transportation, accommodation etc.

It is not a must for the bank statement to be your own, it is possible to the make use of a sponsor’s own. The most important thing is the ingenuity and the cash flow.

Do not falsify your bank statement. see the implication of falsify proof of funds

Police Clearance
