Nepalese abroad study market tends to fluctuate from one country to another with the ease of visa process as most of the students prefer country where visa can be easily obtained. Currently, students’ interest to apply for abroad studies has switched to United Kingdom from Australia.

Main reasons to attract students to UK are as follows:

1. Point Based Visa System. It is the system where students need to have 40 points to get visa. First 30 points they obtain from the Visa Letter from licensed education provider and next 10 points they obtain from the maintenance of fund for living expenses, which only for nine months.
2. Easier financial documents requirement. Students need to show only first year tuition fee and nine months living expenses, which is monthly 900 pound sterling in mainland UK (London and nearby station) and 600 pound sterling outside London.
3. Option of work permit after the completion of Bachelors degree in UK and even after the completion of two years Higher National Diplomas in Scotland.
4. Less documents required, like family relation certificate, police clearance certificate and bank balance letter.

Despite of all these easier documentation, still many students are not getting visa. It is mainly because they apply without much preparation and little attention is given to check the filled application forms and visa letter from approved provider.

You should never try to cheat embassy with faulty documents, which result visa rejection and you may not be eligible to apply again to the same country.

We do suggest students to make sure that the chosen course is of your interest and you want to excel career in the same field. It is also your responsibility to see the requirement and general instruction to the international students in the college/university website. It is better to focus on study rather than seeing the prospects of more income because you can make lot more when you complete the chosen area of your study.

Do not believe in fake promises given at every nook and corners of the street like visa guarantee, job guarantee, and admission guarantees.

We suggest you do proper study before you apply to a country regarding the education systems, part-time employment opportunities, climate, people and work culture. It obvious that when you go to study in English speaking country, you need to have good proficiency of English.
