What You Need to Know When Applying for a Student Visa in Kuwait

Studying abroad in Kuwait

There are many benefits that come with studying abroad. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, Kuwait has great opportunities, especially for young and ambitious youth. However, students face various challenges when it comes to the Kuwait online visa application. Some students may not know the procedure involved in the application process and can end making blunders. Here are some of the tips to help you out in your visa application for Kuwait.

When to apply                          

The sooner a student applies for a student visa, the higher the chances of getting the visa will be. Basically, schools usually post the cut off grades for students to pursue different degree courses. Earlier applications mean fast processing of your documents. Due to a large number of applications, late applications will also take more time to be processed. This also has a major impact on when you will receive the visa.

Usually, visa officers approve student visas two months before commencement of their programs. However, this does not mean that you will not qualify for a visa due to a late application. It simply means that you will stand a better chance of acquiring that visa if you happen to apply early.

Are you financially stable?

Being financially stable can also guarantee you the student visa.

Your sponsor

You will be required to give your sponsor’s details and the relationship you have with them e.g. parent, spouse or sibling

The minimum bank account balance

The total amount in your bank account should be able to accommodate both your tuition fees and the cost of living for the year. But the higher your bank account balance stands, the better chances you will have of acquiring a student visa. Generally, the money has to be in your bank account for at least four months prior to the application.

Age

There is usually no restriction on age limit to qualify for a student visa. Apparently, older students have higher chances of their visa applications being denied. This includes:

  • applicants who are 25 years of age and want to pursue undergraduate courses
  • 35 years or older for graduate studies.

Gender

Depending on your country of origin, female applicants usually have higher chances of acquiring student visas compared to their male counterparts. Mostly, more than 55% of student visas are granted to female students.

Unstable economies

Statistics also show that students from third world countries have lesser chances of acquiring student visas. This is because, besides the security issue, most of them intend to stay abroad as immigrants. Their visas are usually scrutinized and they go through several procedures to acquire the student visa. However, not all unstable countries are faced with this challenge. Iran, for instance, has major security issues. However, it is not considered as an unstable economy.
