It depends on whether your education loan has been disbursed and your lender’s specific policies.

- If the loan is not disbursed: Most lenders will cancel the loan with no repayment required. Inform your lender about the visa refusal promptly to ensure cancellation.
- If the loan is disbursed: You may need to start repaying as per the original terms, since interest begins accruing from the disbursement date. Some lenders may offer options like deferring to a future intake or converting the loan, but this varies.

Review your loan agreement’s visa clauses and contact your lender immediately for next steps.
