Study Abroad Document Checklist for Indian Students

Everything you need to gather — for admission and for your student visa — in one clear checklist.

For your university application

Academic transcripts and certificates, a Statement of Purpose, two or three Letters of Recommendation, an updated resume/CV, English test scores (IELTS/TOEFL/PTE), and GRE/GMAT scores if required. A valid passport is essential.

For your student visa

Your offer/CAS/I-20/CoE, proof of funds (bank statements, loan sanction letter, sponsor documents), visa application forms, financial and (where needed) blocked-account or GIC proof, health insurance, and academic and test documents.

Get the details right

Names, dates and amounts must match across every document — inconsistencies cause refusals. Keep certified copies and digital scans of everything.

Don’t miss anything

Requirements vary by country and university. Vibedu gives you a personalised checklist and reviews your documents before you submit — free.
