What is the difference between a tourist visa and a school visa?

Different countries have different differences.

1. Tourist visa is one of the visa types, and some countries issue tourist visas specifically for tourists, that is, "tourist visas". Tourist visas are characterized by a short stay, usually 30 days, up to 90 days, and generally cannot be extended. Tourist visa holders are not allowed to work in the local area or engage in activities unrelated to tourism. Group tourist visa is a kind of tourist visa, which is characterized in that the visa is not on the passport, and tourists must leave and enter the country with the group.

2. Characteristics of student visa

(1) The visa is valid for a long time, usually 5 years. Once you enter the United States with this visa, you can stay for up to 8 years as long as you maintain your registered student status. Moreover, if there are no special circumstances, the visa does not need to be extended.

(2) During the validity period, the visa can freely enter and leave the United States, as long as it does not constitute an academic interruption, and there is no limit on the entry and exit time.

(3) Spouses and minor children can go to classes.

(4) You can work within a limited time or apply for a work permit from the Immigration Bureau.

(5) If the number of courses or class hours can be reduced due to health or academic reasons, there is no need for full-time study, while still maintaining a student visa, and there is no need to apply for approval from the Immigration Bureau, only the written approval of a full-time school official is required.

(6) If you have graduated from college or above, you want to apply for a green card through professional immigration, which is more advantageous than other non-immigrant visas.
