What is a Student Visa,Visa Policy and E visa

 

What is a Student visa?

 

A student visa (Visitors International Stay Admission) is a special endorsement added to a govt. issued passport to students enrolled at qualified educational institutions. Student visas (Visitors International Stay Admission) are non-immigrant visas that don’t require the visa holder to obtain citizenship. Any prospective student seeking higher education in another country must obtain a student visa (Visitors International Stay Admission) from that country.

 

Understanding student visa

 

Most countries will issue student visas (Visitors International Stay Admission) to allow foreign students to attend school within their borders. However, in most cases, the student must first be enrolled at a post-secondary institution (P.S.I.) of higher learning. So, for e.g., if you are from another country & you want to come to the United States (US) to study, you will actually need both these two (2) visas:

 

•A non-immigrant visa (Visitors International Stay Admission) for a temporary stay / an immigrant visa for permanent residence.

 

•A student visa (Visitors International Stay Admission).

 

These visas (Visitors International Stay Admission) come in two (2) categories, F & M, depending on the type of higher-learning institution (H.L.I.) that is accepted by you.

 

What is a Visa policy?

 

A country’s visa (Visitors International Stay Admission) policy is a rule that states who may / may not enter the country. The policy may allow holders of one country to enter visa-free but not the passport holders of another country. Most visa policies are bilateral, meaning that the 2 countries will allow visa-free travel to each other’s citizens, but this is not always the case. For example, Canadian passport holders may travel to Grenada visa (Visitors International Stay Admission) free, but Grenadians must appeal for a visa (Visitors International Stay Admission) in order to tour Canada.

 

There are no hard & fast rules for countries when determining visa policies. However, some typical considerations include diplomatic relations with the other country, the history, if any, of illegal immigration from the country, cost & tourism factors, & more.

 

What is the E-Visa?

 

The E visa is for treaty traders & investors who come to the U.S.(United States) under a treaty of commerce & navigation between the U.S.(United States) & the country of which the treaty trader/investor is a citizen / national.

1. A foreign national investor with a sizable stake in a United States entity (at least 50% proprietary must always be held)

 

2. A managerial/executive employee of a foreign investing corporation maintaining controlling interest at all times, with at least 50% ownership

 

3. An essential employee of a foreign investing corporation with key skills that allow for performing specific job functionalities

 

Why do I need a visa to travel?

 

Visas (Visitors International Stay Admission) are necessary if you had like to travel to a country that doesn’t have a visa policy in place with your home country.

 

Many countries have visa (Visitors International Stay Admission) policies & agreements that allow their citizens to travel freely between them without the need for a visa (Visitors International Stay Admission). For example, Canadians & Americans don’t need visas (Visitors International Stay Admission) in order to travel to each other’s countries, only valid travel documents. However, Canadians do need visas to travel to Bhutan, for example, since no visa agreement exists between the 2 nations.
