After admission
Keep university admission work, visa preparation and post-arrival registration as separate stages. Each has a different requesting body.
1. University application
The university may request academic records, identity information, photographs, language evidence and programme-specific material. Follow its current instructions for format, translation and certification.
2. Visa preparation
For a long-term study visa, the visa centre or mission for your application location publishes the current requirements. The university normally issues the admission notice and relevant study-visa form after its own process; the student supplies the passport, application information and any local requirements.
3. Arrival and residence steps
Confirm the university’s arrival date, registration process, accommodation procedure and local residence-permit guidance before travel. Do not book travel around an assumed date.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using an old checklist from another country or intake.
- Submitting files with names or dates that do not match the passport.
- Assuming every applicant needs the same medical, financial or translation document.
- Uploading sensitive documents to an informal consultation form.
