Student Visa

General guidance for studying in the United States:

Your offer letter is usually only the first step: most students from abroad also need the right permission to enter and stay in the United States for their studies.

  • an offer or confirmation of enrolment from a recognised institution
  • a valid passport and passport photos
  • evidence that you can cover tuition and living costs
  • health insurance and, in some cases, medical checks
  • proof of language ability or previous qualifications

Visa rules and fees change, so always check the current requirements with official government sources before you apply. Official information: U.S. Department of State: student visas (official government website).

Visa rules change. Always check the current requirements on the official government immigration website.

  • Academic transcripts
  • Degree or school-leaving certificate
  • Passport
  • English-language test result
  • Personal statement or statement of purpose
  • Letters of recommendation
  • CV / résumé (often for postgraduate and MBA)
  • Portfolio (for creative courses)
