Many students unintentionally make mistakes that can cause their application for a visa extension to be delayed or even put at risk. I have put together a guide on the common reasons for visa extension rejection to make sure you have a pleasant experience.
How to avoid mistakes:
1. Submit your application ahead of time:
Missing the application deadline for a student visa extension is one of the most serious mistakes that students may make. The processing period for visa extensions varies by nation and institution. Make sure to submit your application well in advance and to verify these deadlines.
2. Must have all the required documents:
Another frequent mistake is incomplete documentation. Before sending in your application, make sure you have each of the required documents in the right format. Proof of enrolment, bank statements, passport information, and any other documents unique to your school or nation’s requirements are usually included in this.
3. Follow current visa conditions:
While waiting for an extension, students usually forget to follow the terms of their current visa. This can entail continuing to be enrolled full-time, remaining inside the nation’s boundaries, or meeting any other particular obligations. The extension procedure may become complicated if you don’t cooperate.
4. Accurate financial statements:
A crucial component of any visa application is the financial criteria. Make sure you have enough money to sustain yourself during your extended visit. Present proof of your ability to sustain yourself while you are a student and provide reliable financial statements.
5. Maintain good academic standing:
Maintaining a particular standard of academic achievement is a requirement of some student visas. If you don’t meet this requirement, your visa extension may be in danger. Be sure you understand any academic criteria and strive to fulfil or beyond them.
