Preparing for a visa interview
Not every country interviews students. Where one does, these habits help everyone, whatever the country.
Know your course
Be ready to say in your own words what you will study, why this course and this institution, and how it connects to what you did before.
Know your funding
Know who pays for tuition and living costs, how much, and where the documents that show it are. Officers check that the numbers match your papers.
Bring what the official list asks for
Use the checklist on the government page for your visa, not a list from an agent or a forum. Requirements change between years.
Answer truthfully
Never memorise a script or let anyone write answers for you. Inconsistent or false answers can lead to refusal and bans on future applications.
