Online Application vs Paper based Application

[slmaan]

Which option is better for student visa application...... Paper based or online ?

 

[NemesisBR]

What do you mean by "better"?

Did you mean faster or higher chances to be accepted?

I don't think that it'll change much... for both.

I believe that the only difference is that for paper based you should wait for papers to arrive...
But apart from that... it is probably the same.

I mean Faster..

I think its pretty much same.

If you will search on this forum some people get visa within couple of weeks regardless of online/paper-based. For others, it may take 5,6 or even 7 to 10 months regardless of online/paper-based.

I prefer online because its easy/convenient to submit, fill the application and upload the required documents.

If you are from Pakistan I would recommend paper application as I have seen paper applications being processed faster than online
