Why applications on this route get refused
Missing or unclear acceptance/offer letter
The Student Visa needs an official enrollment or offer letter confirming your academic program and its duration.
How to avoid it: Get a clear, signed letter from your institution before you apply, showing your course and its length.
Working while on a Student Visa
The Student Visa does not grant work rights. A separate work permit is required for any employment during your studies.
How to avoid it: Don't take up paid work on a Student Visa; apply for the correct work permit if you plan to work.
Letting your visa lapse
Extensions are not available, if your studies continue beyond your visa's validity, you must apply for a new visa before it expires.
How to avoid it: Track your visa's expiry date and submit a new application, with an updated confirmation letter from your institution, before it runs out.
