You will need to prepare a set of documents for both university admission and your student visa application.

For university applications:
- Academic transcripts and certificates (10th, 12th, graduation, postgraduation if applicable)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs) (typically 2-3)
- Resume/CV
- English language test scores (such as IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE)
- Completed application form and application fee receipt

For your student visa:
- Valid passport
- Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the university
- Proof of funds (recent bank statements, loan sanction letters, or affidavits)
- Completed visa application form and fee receipt
- Biometric information (may be required)
- Tuberculosis (TB) test results (if applicable)
- ATAS certificate (for certain postgraduate courses)
- Parental consent and relationship proof (if under 18)

Requirements may vary by country and university, so ensure your documents are accurate and up to date.
