Student visa for Indians
In 2025, the requirements put forward during the student visa application process have changed. This is a revision of immigration policy in many countries, which is associated with economic challenges and adaptation to new global standards. The key criteria relevant when applying for such a visa are a valid passport, a letter of admission to a foreign educational institution, academic transcripts and proof of financial solvency. Additional documents on health insurance and certificates confirming the level of knowledge of English or another language are also important. If you are interested in legal support in obtaining a visa, you can contact the lawyers of the “Prikhodko & Partners” Law Firm for this service.
Main countries for studying
Let’s look at the list of the main countries that students from India usually choose to study.
Germany
The key requirements are a category D student visa and proof of financial solvency. We are talking about a minimum amount of 11,904 euros/year.
As for employment, it is allowed at a level of up to 120 full days or 240 days of part-time work. And if we talk about the post-graduate perspective, then we are talking about obtaining an 18-month residence permit for the purpose of finding a job. Thus, students who choose to receive an education in Germany have good opportunities to adapt well to this country and continue their professional development there.
France
Requirements for obtaining an education include a long-term student visa and a financial guarantee of at least 615 euros per month. As for employment, it is allowed during studies, if the student works no more than 20 hours per week. Full-time work is only allowed during holidays.
Once a student completes their studies, they will have up to 2 years to find further employment.
Canada
Canada has made some changes in the education sector. The number of student permits has been reduced by 10 percent compared to 2024. This is done to regulate the burden on infrastructure and housing.
As for the requirements, it is worth mentioning the student visa with the mandatory letter of acceptance and academic documents. Equally important is the proof of financial capacity, as in the cases of the countries listed above.
In terms of employment, the requirements for combining it with studies are identical to those in France. And in the context of postgraduate prospects, it is worth mentioning the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) program, which allows you to work for up to 3 years.
Australia
When discussing the topic of studying in Australia, it would be appropriate to first mention the increased requirements for knowledge of English, as well as the introduction of restrictions on the number of student visas.
Among the requirements is a student visa subclass 500 and accompanying documents. This includes a passport, a letter of admission and a financial guarantee. During the course of study, a student can work up to 40 hours per 2 weeks. During the holidays, the number of working hours is unlimited.
The Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) is a post-graduate visa that opens up after completing an education in Australia and allows you to work for 2 to 4 years.
United Kingdom
As for the socio-political changes in the field of education, the requirements for the financial solvency of foreign students, as well as the conditions for obtaining a Graduate Visa, have now been changed.
Among the requirements is a student visa (Tier 4), confirming academic achievements and financial guarantees. Employment in parallel with studies is possible if the student works up to 20 hours a week. During the holidays, it is possible to work full-time – as in France and Canada.
A postgraduate perspective is to apply for a Graduate Visa, which allows you to stay in the country and work for up to 2 years. For doctoral programs, the period is 3 years.
Slovakia
To study in Slovakia, you need to apply for a national student visa and provide a valid passport, a letter of acceptance to an educational institution, academic transcripts, and documents confirming financial solvency. Specific requirements regarding this at the time of application can be found out at the consulate. Additional documents include health insurance and certificates confirming knowledge of a foreign language.
The specifics of employment are influenced by the rules of a particular educational institution, as well as current immigration policies.
