A visa interview can determine whether you’ll be granted entry to your chosen destination. Here’s how to prepare:
1. Understand the Interview Format
Each visa type (student, work, or tourist) has specific questions. Common questions include:
- Why are you traveling?
- How will you finance your trip?
- Do you plan to return to your home country?
2. Have Proper Documentation
Ensure all required documents (passport, financial statements, admission letter, employment letter) are in order. Missing or incorrect documents can lead to rejection.
3. Be Honest & Confident
Answer questions truthfully. Avoid giving unnecessary details that might create doubt. If asked about financial support, provide bank statements and sponsor details confidently.
4. Dress Professionally & Be Punctual
First impressions matter. Dress formally, arrive on time, and maintain a polite demeanor.
5. Know Your Travel Plans
You should be able to explain where you will stay, how long you’ll stay, and what your itinerary includes. For student visas, be prepared to discuss your course and university.
