Applications
Which documents do I need to prepare for studying abroad?
Most applications need a valid passport, mark sheets and transcripts, degree or provisional certificate, English test score, SOP, recommendation letters and a CV. Visas then add funds proof and the offer letter. Start early, because transcripts and passports take time, and keep clear scans of everything.
