Visas
How do I prepare for a student visa interview?
Know your own story well: why this course, why this university, why this country, how you will pay, and what you plan afterwards. Answer briefly and honestly in your own words, carry your documents in order, and do not memorise scripts. Not every country interviews, so check your official visa page.
