Visitor Visa

At SIS, we understand that many students and their families require the ability to visit a foreign country for educational purposes, whether for short-term courses, academic conferences, or to explore potential study destinations. Our Visitor Visa services are designed to help guide students and their families through the complex process of obtaining a visa for a temporary stay.

What is a Visitor Visa?

A Visitor Visa, often referred to as a tourist visa, allows individuals to travel to a foreign country for a limited period for non-immigrant purposes, such as tourism, attending events, or participating in short-term educational programs. For students, this type of visa can be used for:

• Short-term study programs: Short language courses, workshops, or academic seminars.
• Attending interviews or university visits: Visiting prospective universities or educational institutions to explore options before applying for a full-time study visa.
• Attending conferences and academic events: Participating in conferences, seminars, or academic events relevant to their field of study.

Visitor visas are typically issued for a few months or less, depending on the country’s regulations and the purpose of the visit. They are generally not intended for long-term education or employment.

Key Benefits of a Visitor Visa for Education

• Time to Explore Study Options: A visitor visa allows you to explore a foreign country’s educational environment before committing to a full-time course or university. It’s a valuable opportunity to get a feel for the institution, meet faculty members, and participate in campus tours.
• Networking and Professional Growth: Attending academic conferences or workshops on a visitor visa can help you grow your professional network, develop your knowledge, and gain a deeper understanding of the field you are studying.
• Flexible and Short-Term: Unlike student visas, visitor visas offer more flexibility for short-term stays, allowing you to visit multiple institutions or attend several events without the long-term commitment.
