What are the different types of student visas for master's degree study abroad?

For studying for a master’s degree abroad, there are various student visa types, each specific to the country. Generally, they can be grouped into:

Study Visas (Short-term and Long-term): Most countries provide a specific visa for students, often differentiated by program duration. For example, the U.S. offers the F-1 Visa for full-time academic programs, while the UK provides the Tier 4 (General) Student Visa.

Research or Postgraduate Visas: Countries like Australia and Germany offer specialized visas for research-based master's programs, such as the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) in Australia.

Scholarship or Exchange Program Visas: Students accepted through funded programs or exchange agreements might need a particular type of student visa, depending on the country’s regulations.

Each visa type has specific eligibility, financial requirements, and validity periods. Make sure to check the official government immigration websites of your intended study destination for accurate guidelines.
