How do I change my visa type while studying abroad?

To change your visa type while studying abroad, first consult your institution’s international student office. They can guide you on eligibility and required documents. Typically, you’ll need to submit an application to the local immigration authority, including proof of enrollment, financial stability, and a valid passport.

Ensure your current visa remains valid during the process. Some countries may require you to return home and reapply. Processing times vary, so apply well in advance. Always comply with local laws to avoid penalties. Seek legal advice if unsure about the process.
