What documents are required for the visa application process when applying with or without a scholarship?

You will need to provide most of the same core documents for a student visa, whether or not you have a scholarship. Key requirements typically include:

- Valid passport (usually valid 6+ months beyond your stay)
- Completed visa application form
- Passport-sized photographs (as per country specs)
- Proof of admission (official offer letter from your university)
- Financial evidence:
- Without scholarship: show bank statements, support affidavits, or financial guarantee letters for tuition and living expenses
- With scholarship: include your official scholarship award letter with amount and duration
- Academic transcripts and certificates
- Proof of English proficiency (like IELTS/TOEFL scores, if required)
- Health and police clearance certificates (country-specific)
- Visa fee payment receipt

Additional documents may be needed for under-18 applicants, certain courses, or specific countries. Visa requirements are subject to change and can vary by country.
