Austria Student visa - Refusal & reapplying
1 questions
Expert Answers
I've received an offer letter for a diploma program in Austria even though I already hold a bachelor's degree. Could my visa be rejected because I chose a diploma instead of a master's?
→Yes, choosing a diploma after a bachelor's degree can lead to a residence permit refusal without clear justification, since Austrian authorities heavily scrutinize academic progression. A strong Statement of Purpose explaining career pivot and home country ties mitigates this risk.
