Studying abroad is one of the most exciting and significant experiences in a student's life. There are many steps to this journey, be it identifying your dream school or successfully completing the enrollment procedures. However, one of the most critical steps in this process is your visa application, which will formalise your trip to the UK.
For students wishing to study in the UK, there are various types of visas available based on their circumstances and requirements. Short-term student visas (Visitor and Short-term Study Visa) are available for short-term educational programmes, while options like the Tier 4 (General) Student Visa are better suited for university students or other long-term courses. Although each visa type varies in terms of application process and required documents, the basic procedures are generally similar.
Needless to say, the process to acquire your visa can be daunting and frankly, confusing. But just because it can be difficult, doesn't mean it should be. At Echos we recognise that every student's situation is unique to them which is why we ensure our advice and guidance is individual to you. Our experienced team will be with you at every stage of the visa application process, working to make this journey as smooth and seamless as possible.
First step will be to collect all the necessary forms and documents from you and carefully review them with the help of our expert team. If needed, we will provide feedback and request additional documents to ensure that your documents are prepared accurately and comprehensively. The following step will be to book you an appointment at your local visa centre, which you will attend in person. You will be notified once the decision has been made.
Oh, the final step? The final step will be to celebrate!
More times than not, a student's family will want to accompany them for their arrival in the UK. In addition to supporting students, we understand that their families may also require assistance throughout the visa process. You will be happy to know that our visa services also provide comprehensive support to student's families, ensuring that your loved ones can be right by your side during this transition period. We will meticulously manage the application processes, assisting in the preparation of all necessary documents and ensuring that applications are submitted accurately.
It is only natural for anyone who plans to study abroad to have some concerns. Moving to a new country, overcoming language barriers, cultural differences, and the many complexities of the visa application process can all be a source of anxiety for applicants. However, with the right guidance and support, you can easily turn these steps into a positive experience.
At Echos we aim to guide you through this exciting journey with an unwavering determination and a promising attitude. Our experienced team will identify the most suitable strategy for your needs and circumstances, providing support at every stage of the process. Once the visa application is successfully completed, you can take that well earned breath and confidently move on to the next stage: beginning your education in the UK.
At Echos we are dedicated to providing continued support to our students even after they graduate and begin taking the next steps towards building their careers. If you wish to extend your stay in the UK after completing your studies, the Graduate Route visa will be a great asset for your plans. This visa allows undergraduate and postgraduate graduates to live and work in the UK for 2 years, and for PhD graduates, up to 3 years, making it an advantageous option for students looking to step into the professional world after graduation.
However, just like with any other visa type, there are several key points to consider when applying for the Graduate Route visa. We will provide you with guidance at every stage of this process. From preparing your application documents to completing identity verification, Echos will ensure a smooth and hassle-free application experience. As part of this service, we will also provide you with valuable feedback on your CVs and cover letters to increase your chances of success during job applications. Our goal will be to help you complete this process with minimum stress and maximum confidence. With Echos by your side, your transition to the new stage in your life will be seamless and exciting.
