What is Visa? Student Visa? Study Visa?
|
A
Visa is short for
the Latin carta Visa, lit. It is a document that
has been seen. In other words Visa is a document
issued by a country giving an individual permission
to formally request entrance to the country during
a given period of time and for certain purposes
and usually stamped or glued inside of passport,
sometimes issued as separate pieces of paper.
A visa
is a permit issued by the foreign affairs
or state department of a country. It allows you
to enter the country. Visas are usually stickers
placed inside your passport. In most cases, you
must apply for it in your own country before you
travel. Because of an agreement between many developed
countries, some citizens do not require visas
when they go to each other’s countries for short
stays of less than three months, for business
purposes, or as tourists. However, the purpose
for which you enter a country must agree with
the visa you receive. You cannot apply for most
types of visas, or change visa types, once you
are in the country. To enter
as a student for a stay of longer than
90 days, you must apply for a visa before you
travel. In other words, you cannot enter the country
as a tourist and then register as a student. Similarly,
you cannot get a short-term work visa and then
enroll as a student.
Student Visa: Student
visa as the name shows is a visa for students.
If you want to go to the United Kingdom to do
a course for up to six months, and you do not
want to work while you are there then you can
apply for
UK Student Visa.
Applying for a UK student visa
allows a person to come to the United Kingdom
to embark upon a course of study in excess of
six months duration. The study visa immigration
service entails the grant of a UK study permit
enabling visa nationals to study in the UK with
a view to gaining a recognized qualification.
