A student visa is a document that allows you to pursue a study program in a foreign country. Student visas are usually issued for short-term purposes, and you must have already been accepted to a university or educational institution to qualify for the visa.
Student Visa Guidelines
To make sure your student visa does not get canceled, you have to follow the student visa rules:
- You can only work limited hours (usually 20 hours per week) in campus jobs.
- You have to attend all your classes (unless there is an emergency).
- If you have a scholarship, you have to maintain a specific GPA.
- You cannot stay after your visa expires.
- You cannot apply for permanent residence under a student visa.
