FAQs
Study Abroad Loan FAQs
Apply as soon as you have a firm or conditional offer and know the total cost of attendance. For USA, loan proof is needed before I-20 issuance in many cases. For UK CAS and visa, sanction letters are required before visa filing. Starting 3–4 months before intake is ideal.
Yes, up to lender-specific unsecured caps (often ₹40–75 lakh) for students admitted to premier or listed universities with strong co-applicant income. USA programmes above ₹50–60 lakh typically need property or FD collateral. Germany may need smaller loans for blocked accounts only.
Rates are usually floating and linked to repo/ MCLR / external benchmark — typically ranging approx. 9.5%–12.5% p.a. for secured loans and higher for unsecured (varies by bank, profile, and date). We help you compare APR including processing fees.
Most lenders include living costs up to a percentage of tuition or visa benchmark amounts. Airfare, laptop, and health insurance may be included within overall COA limits. Country-specific caps apply — we map your university's breakdown to maximise eligible components.
Select Indian lenders issue a sanction letter and may disburse funds to the university or hold in escrow before F-1 visa stamping, so the I-20 reflects adequate funding. Rules vary — not all lenders offer true pre-visa release. We identify banks that match your university timeline.
A Sperrkonto (blocked account) holds one year's living expenses (~€11,904 in 2024). Students transfer funds after visa requirements are met. Education loan sanction letters are accepted to show financial capacity; disbursement may be timed to open the account via providers like Expatrio or Fintiba.
Visa officers assess genuine financial capacity. A rejected loan application itself is not always disclosed, but you must show adequate funds via loan sanction, savings, or sponsor income. We recommend applying to multiple lenders early to avoid last-minute gaps.
Indian lender loans are denominated in INR — EMI is paid in rupees via NRE/NRO accounts or remittance from abroad. Some students use post-study salary remitted to India for EMI. Foreclosure in full is allowed with possible charges — check your loan agreement.
