1.Online Visa Application: A visa application form for a specific country will be available online. You can create a student profile online and fill the necessary fields correctly.
2. Offline Visa Application: If you are applying for a visa offline, you can download the form and fill in the details.
Once you fill in all the details, you have to pay the visa application fee and submit it with all the supporting documents. Depending on the country and your nationality, completing visa processing can take a few days to several months. You’ll have to make sure that you leave enough time to get your visa arrangements done.
We suggest that you start your visa application process by applying 3-4 months in advance. If you seek financial aid, scholarships or education loans, consider adding a few more months as these applications take longer to process and complete.

A class titled “Finance for Young Adults” usually isn’t part of a high school curriculum—an unfortunate oversight that leaves many young people clueless about how to manage their money, apply for credit, and stay out of debt. Although some progress has been made—23 U.S. states required a personal finance course and 25 required an economics course for high school graduation in 2022—there are still large knowledge gaps in this age group.
If you’re lucky, your parents taught you self-control when you were a kid. If not, keep in mind that the sooner you learn the essential life skill of delaying gratification, the sooner you’ll keep your personal finances in order as a matter of habit.
One of the most important ways to exercise self-control with your finances is also very simple. If you wait until you’ve saved the money for whatever it is you need, then you can put all everyday purchases on a debit card instead of a credit card. A debit card deducts the money from your checking account immediately (with no additional fees), but a credit card—unless you can afford to pay off the balance in full every month—is actually a high-interest loan. If you get into the dangerous habit of putting all your purchases on credit cards, then not only will you be paying interest on a pair of jeans or a box of cereal, but you could also still be paying for those items in 10 years.
If you don’t learn to manage your money, then other people will find ways to mismanage it for you. Some of these people could have bad intentions, like unscrupulous financial planners. Others may be well-meaning, but not fully informed about your circumstances, like relatives who make blanket recommendations about the importance of owning your own house—even though the only way you could afford to buy right now would be taking on a risky adjustable-rate mortgage.
Instead of relying on random advice from unqualified people, take charge of your own financial future and read a few basic books on personal finance. Once you’re armed with knowledge, don’t let anyone get you off track—whether it’s a significant other who siphons off your bank account or friends who want you to go out and blow tons of money with them every weekend.
