Country-Specific Mini Tips

Crystal-clear purpose and funding; F1 needs strong academic plan + home ties.
Canada (Visitor/Study/Work)
Explain “why Canada”, verifiable funds, solid LOA/job offer.
UK (Visitor/Skilled/Student)
Skilled: eligible offer + salary threshold. Student: payments & accommodation sorted.
Schengen
Insurance min €30k, bookings aligned, immediate return demonstrated.
Australia
Genuine temporary entrant: show real ties, funds, and clear study/work logic.
Gulf
Contract, sponsorship and accommodation must be explicit; comply with medical checks.
Interview Flow You Can Practice
- Greeting + purpose in one sentence.
- Immediate proof (invitation / LOA / contract).
- Funds (statements + payslips summarized).
- Home ties (contract, property, family).
- Close: “I return on dd/mm to resume work/studies.”
Quick FAQ
Can I say I’ll look for a job there? Not if you enter as a tourist/student. Stick to the legal scope of your visa.
How much money should I show? Enough for trip costs + safety buffer; ideally 3–6 months of consistent statements.
What if I’m refused? Request reasons/notes if possible, fix the gap (funds, ties, evidence), then reapply with real changes.

Visa interviews are won with short answers, matching evidence, and credible home ties. Use the survey result to identify weak areas and strengthen them before the appointment.
