Student Visa Abroad process

To study English at our international destinations, you may need to obtain a student visa abroad. We understand that the process of getting a visa can be quite confusing and intimidating, especially if you are not familiar with the student visa abroad application requirements and procedures. That's why we have simplified the process into a few simple and easy-to-follow steps. 

Step 1

After all course entry requirements are met and all documents have been submitted, you will get your acceptance letter from English Path. 

Step 2

After receiving the acceptance letter, contact the destination country's embassy or consulate in your home country to learn about the process for a student visa abroad. 

Step 3

Prepare and organise all the necessary documents as requested by the destination country's embassy to apply for a student visa abroad.

Step 4

When applying for a student visa abroad, embassies may ask for an in-person interview to gather information about you before processing your application. 

Step 5

When you apply for a student visa abroad, remember it can take 2-3 months to receive confirmation, depending on your home country. 

Step 6

You will finally receive your student visa and can travel to our English Path campus to start your English language learning journey.
