Fourth, matters needing attention in the interview of studying abroad visa

Avoid occupational sensitivity

Some majors are sensitive to the Singapore government, such as military, biochemical and aviation. When applying for this kind of major, we should pay attention to avoid the sensitivity of the major. For example, when making a professional statement, we should highlight the civilian part of the major, highlight the advantages of returning to China for employment, and do not highlight its role in the military or biochemical fields.

Clarify one's intention to go abroad

When referring to one's major, if the chosen major is technical and unclear, it will easily lead to the visa officer not understanding the statement, thus losing the basic basis for judging whether the foreign students have the tendency to emigrate, and finally having to refuse the visa.

Avoid slip of the tongue

Nervousness is common in the interview process, but the interview is a process in which international students leave an intuitive impression on visa officers. Therefore, we should try our best to adjust our emotions and avoid making a slip of the tongue because of nervousness.

However, as a big country studying abroad, Singapore is still relatively loose in the issuance of study visas. As long as students have no bad records and really want to study abroad, they can get a study visa.
