Students are traveling across nations and continents just for an overseas education.
5 million international students were recorded in 2014. Furthermore, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) predicted that the population of international students will reach 8 million by 2025!

Additionally, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and Germany are top study abroad destinations among half of the international student population.
Even though the pandemic has slowed down the study abroad traffic, the situation is gradually recovering. Overseas education is blooming once again, and remains a plan worth investing among students and parents.
But why exactly is overseas education so intriguing that students are leaving the comforts of their home country to an unfamiliar land?
Here’s what you should know: it is more than just exploring new places. There are plenty of long-term advantages that can only be obtained through an overseas education.

1) Offer Letter / I20 Form (USA)
2) Personal Statement / Essay
Also known as a Statement of Purpose, many universities use them to gauge your analytical abilities, interests, critical thinking skills, and aspirations. You should include your education and career goals, along with your purpose of choosing the particular program and university.
But don’t worry, we gotchu covered. Here’s a guide to help you write a personal statement that actually works!
3) Reference Letter / Letter of Recommendation (LOR)
This letter is written by someone else, usually your teacher or employer, to assess your qualities and capabilities. The university may call them to confirm certain facts, so make sure to include their contact details!
4) CV / Resume (if applicable)
5) Work Experience Documents (if applicable)
6) Visa Application Documents
The visa requirements and details vary for each country. We’ve also prepared a step-by-step guide to apply for Student Visas for these countries:
7) Documents needed on arrival
Once you get your Student Visa sorted, you’re pretty much set for an overseas education! Just remember to bring these when you travel to your study abroad destination.
Choosing a destination to study abroad can be fun, but don’t get carried away – you might make careless mistakes, like missing out certain documents. Yikes!
