5 Commonly Asked Questions During Student Visa Interview

1. 5 COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS DURING STUDENT VISA INTERVIEW Clarity of purpose and competency in learning are the two fundamental traits that go a long way to visa approval. Mentioned below are the 5 most important questions (with sample answers) one should prepare on to make it to the Student visa application and approval. Why do you want to pursue your education from our country? Insight: clarity of purpose This question is asked to adjudge a candidate’s clarity of purpose behind the selection of study abroad destination and pre-empts a justification towards the selection of university in that particular country. A candidate is expected to provide country-specific information that match with the career objective.

What you plan to do after completing your studies? Insight: Stay or serve in home country Though countries do provide stay-back options, an answer that offers a promise of serving in one’s home country is also preferred over the rest.
