What are the chances of getting a student visa for New Zealand or UK given my profile and previous visa history?
It depends. Both New Zealand and the UK have strong student visa approval rates, but a previous visa refusal can affect your chances.
- New Zealand: Recent approval rates for Indian students are around 75% (subject to change). Success depends on clear academic progression, strong financial documentation, and addressing any previous visa refusal with supporting evidence.
- UK: Approval rates are currently about 96% for Indian students. Applications are most often refused due to financial documentation or incomplete information. Addressing previous refusals and providing a clear justification for your course choice is important.
A prior visa refusal should be clearly addressed in your new application with additional supporting documents.
