How long is the validity of the study visa?

Nowadays, many students choose to study abroad, and many countries are very suitable for studying abroad because of their strong education. Let's talk about it How long can a student's study visa be valid? Let's look at the references.

Introduction of study visa

If a person wants to travel abroad, settle down or study abroad, get married, etc. In addition to his passport, he should also hold the corresponding visa. Passport is the holder's nationality and identity certificate, and visa is the permission certificate of a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter, exit or transit.

Visas are generally endorsed on passports, some are endorsed on other travel documents instead of passports, and some are issued separately. For example, immigration visas in the United States and Canada are A4 paper, and Singapore also issues separate paper visas to foreigners. Generally speaking, a visa must be used at the same time as a passport to be valid.

Generally speaking, foreigners are granted different entry visas according to the identity of the applicant and the purpose of entry, such as visas for traveling, visiting relatives, emigrating, studying abroad and working, and the residence time after entry is limited. Due to the different types of visas, the relevant materials needed are also different. Generally, short-term residence applications have fewer restrictions and shorter waiting time for approval. For the purpose of long-term residence, the application is more restricted and the waiting time is longer.

Second, the time of studying abroad visa

1, the validity period of the visa

It means that the visa is allowed to enter the country from the date of issuance to the future. After this period, the visa will be invalid. Generally, countries issue entry visas valid for 3 months, while some countries issue entry visas valid for 1 month. Some countries have strict restrictions on the validity of visas, such as Germany, which only issues visas according to the date of application. The validity of transit visas is generally short.

2. The duration of the visa

Refers to the time allowed for the holder to stay after entering the country. The difference between it and the visa validity period is that the visa validity period refers to the use period of the visa, that is, the holder can enter and leave the country within the specified time. If the entry-exit visa of a country is valid for 3 months and the stay period is 15 days, the visa can enter or leave the country on any day within 3 months from the date of issuance, but the holder can only stay in the country for 15 days from the date of entry to the date of exit. Some countries must enter the country within 3 months after issuance, and the stay period after entry is 1 month; In some countries, the visa entry period and stay period are the same. For example, the validity period and stay period of the American visitor visa is three months, that is, the entrant is valid for three months and can only stay for three months after entering the country. The validity period of the visa is generally 1 month or 3 months; The longest is generally half a year or more than 1 year, such as employment and study visa; The shortest is 3 days or 7 days, such as a transit visa.

3. Effective time

In addition to the validity period and stay period, the visa also stipulates the number of valid times. Generally, it is divided into one valid visa, two valid visas and multiple valid visas. The number of times a visa is valid means that once it is used within the validity period, it will be invalid. Two valid visas, that is, you can use them twice within the validity period of the visa. Multiple valid visas, that is, within the validity period of the visa, the holder can enter and leave its territory multiple times. For example, some tourist visas for Australia and India allow multiple entry and exit within three or six months. In some countries, work visas are also applicable to multiple entry. Of course, what kind of visa to issue, how long it is valid and how many times it is valid are decided by the visa authority according to the specific situation of the entry applicant.

Third, the refusal rate of study visa.

Speaking of visa refusal, some students will think that visa refusal is only a small probability event, and this kind of thing will never happen to them. However, some students are very worried and are not sure whether they will be the next to refuse the visa.

Then, what is the real refusal rate of studying abroad visas?

First of all, visa refusal is really a small probability event.

What is the refusal rate of study visa in Spain? I'm afraid no one can know this specific figure except the embassy, but judging from the many years of visa processing experience of the Niu Xue team, there are really few students who refuse visas, perhaps less than 1%.

However, the second point that Niu Xuejie wants to say is that visa refusal is not a purely probabilistic event, and the luck is very small. Almost all visa refusals have reasons behind them.

Therefore, it is of little significance for everyone to ask about the refusal rate, because for some "seriously injured" students, the refusal rate of Ta may be 99%, while for some students in good condition, the refusal rate may be 0%.

Fourth, the common reasons for refusing visas.

Reasons for refusal 1: false materials

This is the biggest harm of visa refusal and the taboo of visa.

Generally speaking, visas will not be refused directly for other reasons, and the embassy may also give some opportunities to explain and submit materials. However, once false materials are found, the result is a direct refusal.

Moreover, the fake materials left the embassy with the worst impression, which is likely to affect the visa again in the future.

Therefore, students who are preparing for visas must first dispel their luck and stay away from fake materials.

Visa officers "read countless people" and they will be keenly aware of the abnormal situation. Besides, just because someone gets away with it doesn't mean you can, because the information of the embassy is constantly updated, and no one can be sure that you must be the lucky one.

In addition, be careful of "fake materials" caused unintentionally.

Reason 2: Many students are worried that if I am nervous or my Spanish is not good, will it be easy to refuse the visa?

Here, Niu Jie can tell you clearly that it is not so easy to refuse a visa. Visa officers sign so many people every day that most students are nervous. As long as your "nervousness" is within the normal range, you will be fine.

However, there are still very few students who are refused visas because of their grades. For example, some students are too nervous to answer some normal questions (such as where is the school and how to get there at ordinary times).

Or some students suddenly feel that it is better to say their situation in another way when they get a visa, and as a result, they provide a statement that is inconsistent with their own materials.

Reason 3: impure motives are more difficult to grasp than fake materials, because it is subjective to look at the experience of visa officers completely.

First of all, we need to know what kind of motivation is "impure" for applying for a study visa.

The answer is, if your motivation to go abroad is not to study abroad, learn knowledge and language, but to work and immigrate, even if your motivation is not pure.

Therefore, never reveal your immigration tendency in the visa materials. Having immediate family members is a taboo in Spain, and a history of refusing visas and being repatriated from other countries will also have adverse effects.
