1, Korea:
Generally speaking, a Korean study visa can be issued within 5-7 working days. If you want to express it, you can also pay a certain express fee, so you can get it in 1-3 working days.
The above standards are only applicable to the general situation that there is no problem in visa review. Need to supplement materials or verify the authenticity of materials, extend the review time.
2. Britain:
According to the statistics of the embassy, about 80% of visa processing will take about 15 working days. In the last year or two, the British Embassy has sent more staff to speed up the processing of student visas and try to ensure that international students can arrive in the UK to attend courses as scheduled.
3. United States:
Make an appointment in advance, and you can get your passport about 5 working days after the face-to-face signing, and the longest time will not exceed 2 weeks. However, it will be more comfortable to book a plane ticket if you sign it early, so you can do it earlier if time permits. Prepare the materials for 2-3 days, fill in the DS 160 form, make an appointment for a visa, and pay the visa fee of 1 day. If you receive your passport after almost 5- 10 working days at the scene, you are not sure whether it has been audited by the administration, ranging from 10 days to several months.
Matters needing attention in visa processing
First, bring the necessary materials.
You need to bring your ID card and photocopy, my photo, original passport and photocopy when you apply for a visa.
2. Fill in and submit the visa application form.
When applying for a visa, you should pay attention to filling in and submitting the visa application form, and you need to download it from the internet yourself. There are different types of visas and different forms. Usually, the visa application form needs to be filled in a foreign language, and my photo is also needed.
Third, carry out the necessary audit.
When you apply for a visa, you need to go to the competent department of the country to carry out the necessary audit, and then tell the visa center of that country the audit opinion. If the visa center agrees, the visa will be issued, and if it refuses, the applicant will be informed.
Fourth, timely payment of visa fees.
Generally speaking, the visa fee needs to be paid when submitting the visa application, and some countries do not need to pay the fee until the visa is successful. The visa payment time and fee are different in each country, and the specific provisions shall prevail.
Don't buy a plane ticket without a visa.

Study visa processing flow
First, make an appointment for a visa.
To apply for a visa in the United States, you need to buy a calling card of CITIC Bank in advance and call the American Embassy to make an appointment for a visa. The same is true in Britain. The application center does not accept the situation of submitting an application directly to the visa application center without making an appointment in advance.
Second, fill out the visa application form.
Before or after booking a visa, you can log in to the embassy in official website to fill out a visa application form. Since the visa application form cannot be modified after submission, the applicant must fill in it accurately according to the passport and ID card information and submit it after inspection. After submission, you need to print out the visa application form. If you use the online payment system to pay the visa fee, you need to print out the payment voucher.
Third, submit the application materials.
Countries need different application materials, generally including the following: passport, ID card, financial guarantee materials, transcripts, academic credentials, visa application forms, photos, payment vouchers and other materials. Applicants must prepare the required materials in advance before formally applying for a visa. If the application materials are incomplete or untrue, it is likely that the visa will be refused.
Fourth, the interview
If you want to apply for an American study visa, you need an interview. During the interview, the interviewer will not only examine the English level of the applicant, but also judge whether the applicant has the ability to adapt to overseas life according to the personality characteristics of the applicant. During the interview, candidates must pay attention to etiquette and respect the interviewer.
