ORIGINAL POSTER

Good morning. (Education Visa question) 

I have all my papers ready to apply for my Educational Visa. I was told to have 15days left on my current Tourist Visa to apply for the Edu Visa. Is that true? Can I apply even though I have only 9 days left of my Tourist Visa? 

Any help would be appreciated. 🙏🏻

Check with your school and local immigration office. They can best advise you...especially now with COVID.

Amazing that the University only hand out some copies and does not give any information or join you to apply for the conversion of a Tourist visa into the Non Immigrant ED visa at your local Immigration Office.

It could be 15 days or 21 days or it could be impossible to do the conversion depending of Immigration Office

they did offer help regarding accompanying you to the immigration office, but due to Covid they canceled that process.

If your school says you need 15 days on your current tourist visa, then you need at least 15 days left on your current tourist visa.
