Several visa categories permit international students to engage in full-time research while studying abroad. The most common is the Student Visa (F-1 in the U.S., Tier 4 in the UK), which allows enrollment in degree programs involving research. Countries like Australia offer the Student Visa (subclass 500), covering research-based higher education.
For postgraduates, the Research Visa (e.g., J-1 in the U.S.) is tailored for scholars conducting full-time research. Some nations provide specific visas like Germany’s Researcher Visa, requiring admission to a research institution. Always verify eligibility with the host country’s immigration authority.
