A visa generally gives non-citizens clearance to enter a country and to remain
there within specified constraints, such as a time frame for entry, a limit on the
time spent in the country, and a prohibition against employment. Some
countries do not require a visa in some situations, such as a result of
reciprocal treaty arrangements. The possession of a visa is not in itself a
guarantee of entry into the country that issued it, and a visa can be revoked at
any time.
A visa application in advance of arrival gives the country a chance to consider
the applicant's circumstance, such as financial security, reason for applying,
and details of previous visits to the country. A visitor may also be required to
undergo and pass security and/or health checks upon arrival at the border
.Some visas can be granted on arrival or by prior application at the
country's embassy or consulate, or through a private visa service specialized
in the issuance of international travel documents. These agencies are
authorized by the foreign authority, embassy, or consulate to represent
international travellers who are unable or unwilling to travel to the embassy
and apply in person. Private visa and passport services collect an additional
fee for verifying customer applications, supporting documents, and submitting
them to the appropriate authority. If there is no embassy or consulate in one's
home country, then one would have to travel to a third country (or apply by
post) and try to get a visa issued there. The need or absence of need of a visa
generally depends on the citizenship of the applicant, the intended duration of
the stay, and the activities that the applicant may wish to undertake in the
country he visits; these may delineate different formal categories of visas, with
different issue conditions.

Introduction to industry
What is international education?
International education can mean many different things and its definition is
debated. Some have defined two general meanings according to its
involvement of students. The first refers to education that transcends national
borders by the exchange of people, for example, by students travelling to
study at an international branch campus, as part of a study abroad program or
as part of a student exchange program. The second is a comprehensive
approach to education that intentionally prepares students to be active and
engaged participants in an interconnected world.
Understanding of a broad array of phenomena is enhanced and deepened
through
cultures, languages,environmental situations,governments,politicalrelations r
eligions,geography, and history of the world. While definitions vary in the
precise language used, international education is generally taken to include:
Knowledge of other world regions & cultures;
Familiarity with international and global issues;
Skills in working effectively in global or cross-cultural environments,
and using information from different sources around the world;
Ability to communicate in multiple languages; and
Dispositions towards respect and concern for other cultures and
peoples.

1. GLOBAL AND NATIONAL VISA FIRM
Conditions of issue
Some visas can be granted on arrival or by prior application at the
country's embassy or consulate, or through a private visa service specialized
in the issuance of international travel documents. These agencies are
authorized by the foreign authority, embassy, or consulate to represent
international travellers who are unable or unwilling to travel to the embassy
and apply in person. Private visa and passport services collect an additional
fee for verifying customer applications, supporting documents, and submitting
them to the appropriate authority. If there is no embassy or consulate in one's
home country, then one would have to travel to a third country (or apply by
post) and try to get a visa issued there. The need or absence of need of a visa
generally depends on the citizenship of the applicant, the intended duration of
the stay, and the activities that the applicant may wish to undertake in the
country he visits; these may delineate different formal categories of visas, with
different issue conditions.
Some countries apply the principle of reciprocity in their visa policy. A
country's visa policy is called reciprocal if it imposes visa requirement against
citizens of all the countries which impose visa requirements against its own
citizens. The opposite is rarely true: a country rarely lifts visa requirements
against citizens of all the countries which also lift visa requirements against its
own citizens, unless a prior bilateral agreement has been made.
Some examples of countries who apply reciprocity in their visa policy are:
European Union (the visa reciprocity policy in the European Union has not
reached full reciprocity for some EU citizens in some countries),
United States (visa policy of United States),
Russia (visa policy of Russia),
Brazil (visa policy of Brazil).
The issuing authority may also require applicants to attest that they have had
no criminal convictions, or that they do not partake in certain activities
5
(like prostitution or drug trafficking). Some countries will deny visas if the
travellers passports show evidence of citizenship or travel to a country which
is considered hostile by that country. For example, some Arabic oriented
countries will not issue visas to nationals of Israel and those whose passports
bear evidence of visiting Israel.
Many countries frequently demand strong evidence of intent to return to the
home country, if the visa is for a temporary stay, due to potential
unwanted illegal immigration.
Each country has a multitude of categories of visas and with various names.
The most common types and names of visas include:
By purpose:
Transit visa, for passing through the country to a destination outside that
country. Validity of transit visas are usually limited by short terms such as
several hours to 10 days depending on the size of the country and/or the
circumstances of a particular transit itinerary.
Airside transit visa, required by some countries for passing through their
airports even without going through passport control.
Crew member, steward or driver visa, issued to persons employed or
trained on aircraft, vessels, trains, trucks, buses and any other means of
international transportation, or ships fishing in international waters.
Short-stay or visitor visa, for short visits to the host country. Many countries
differentiate between different reasons for these visits, such as:
Tourist visa, for a limited period of leisure travel, no business activities
allowed.
Visa for medical reasons, for undertaking diagnostics or a course of
treatment in the host country's hospitals.
Business visa, for engaging in commerce in the country. These visas
generally preclude permanent employment, for which a work visa would be
required.
6
Working holiday visa, for individuals traveling between nations offering a
working holiday program, allowing young people to undertake temporary work
while traveling.
Athletic or artistic visa, issued to athletes and performing artists (and
their supporting staff) performing at competitions, concerts, shows and other
events.
Cultural exchange visa, usually issued to athletes and performing artists
participating in a cultural exchange program.
Refugee visa, issued to persons fleeing the dangers of persecution, a
war or a natural disaster.
Long-stay visa, valid for longer but still finite stays:
Student visa, which allows its holder to study at an institution of higher
learning in the issuing country.
Temporary worker visa, for approved employment in the host country.
These are generally more difficult to obtain but valid for longer periods of time
than a business visa. Examples of these are the United States' H-1B and L-1
visas. Depending on a particular country, the status of temporary worker may
or may not evolve into the status of permanent resident or to naturalization.
Journalist visa, which some countries require of people in that
occupation when traveling for their respective news organizations. Countries
which insist on this include Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, the United
States (I-visa) and Zimbabwe.
Residence visa, granted to people obtaining long-term residence in the
host country. In some countries, long-term residence is a necessary step to
obtain the status of a permanent resident.
Asylum visa, issued to people who have suffered or reasonably fear
persecution in their own country due to their political activities or opinion, or
features, or association with a social group.
Immigrant visa, granted for those intending to immigrate to the issuing
country (obtain the status of a permanent resident with a prospect of possible
naturalization in the future):
7
Spousal visa or partner visa, granted to the spouse, civil partner or de
facto partner of a resident or citizen of a given country to enable the couple to
settle in that country.
Marriage visa, granted for a limited period before intended marriage or
civil partnership based on a proven relationship with a citizen of the
destination country. For example, a German woman who wishes to marry an
American man would obtain a Fiance Visa (also known as a K-1 visa) to
allow her to enter the United States. "A K1 Fiance Visa is valid for four
months from the date of its approval."
[6]
Pensioner visa (also known as retiree visa or retirement visa), issued by
a limited number of countries (Australia, Argentina, Thailand, Panama, etc.),
to those who can demonstrate a foreign source of income and who do not
intend to work in the issuing country. Age limits apply in some cases.
Official visa is granted to officials doing job for their governments or
otherwise representing their countries in the host country, such as the
personnel of diplomatic missions.
Diplomatic visa is normally only available to bearers of diplomatic
passports.
Courtesy visa issued to representatives of foreign governments or
international organizations who do not qualify for diplomatic status but do
merit expedited, courteous treatment - an example of this
is Australia's Special purpose visa.
Electronic visa. The visa is stored in a computer and is electronically tied
to the passport number; no label, sticker or stamp is placed in the passport
before travel.
Australia pioneered electronic visa issuance with the Electronic Travel
Authority for tourists, and is also issuing the eVisitor for European tourists and
businessmen. Recent changes in immigration law mean that almost all visas
(including those for permanent residency) are issued electronically by default
unless a label is required (for example to board an airplane).
New Zealand is now also issuing some visas electronically.
8
The United States has a similar internet system called Electronic System
for Travel Authorization, but this is a security pre-screening only and does not
technically qualify as a visa under US immigration law.
Turkey is issuing electronic visas as of April 2013 (certain African
countries are eligible only if using Turkish Airlines) through the Republic of
Turkey Electronic Visa Application System.
Cambodia is issuing electronic visas to most of the visitors through the e-
Visa system.
Singapore is issuing electronic visas to certain eligible countries.
Bahrain issues electronic visas to certain eligible countries.
Entry and duration period
Single-entry visitor visa to Canada
Visas can also be single-entry which means the visa is cancelled as soon as
the holder leaves the country; double-entry, or multiple-entry which permits
double or multiple entries into the country with the same visa. Countries may
also issue re-entry permits that allow temporarily leaving the country without
invalidating the visa. Even a business visa will normally not allow the holder to
work in the host country without an additional work permit.
Once issued, a visa will typically have to be used within a certain period of
time.
With some countries, the validity of a visa is not the same as the authorized
period of stay. The visa validity then indicates the time period when entry is
permitted into the country. For example, if a visa has been issued to begin
J anuary 1 and to expire March 30, and the typical authorized period of stay in
a country is 90 days, then the 90-day authorized stay starts on the day the
9
passenger enters the country (entrance has to be between J anuary 1 and
March 30). Thus, the latest day the traveller could conceivably stay in the
issuing country is J uly 1 (if the traveller entered on March 30). This
interpretation of visas is common in Americas.
Once in the country, the validity period of a visa or authorized stay can often
be extended for a fee at the discretion of immigration authorities. Overstaying
a period of authorized stay given by the immigration officers is
considered illegal immigration even if the visa validity period isn't over (i.e., for
multiple entry visas) and a form of being "out of status" and the offender may
be fined, prosecuted, deported, or even blacklisted from entering the country
again.
Entering a country without a valid visa or visa exemption may result in
detention and removal (deportation or exclusion) from the country.
Undertaking activities that are not authorized by the status of entry (for
example, working while possessing a non-worker tourist status) can result in
the individual being deemed deportablecommonly referred to as an illegal
alien. Such violation is not a violation of a visa, despite the common misuse of
the phrase, but a violation of status hence the term "out of status."
Even having a visa does not guarantee entry to the host country. The border
crossing authorities make the final determination to allow entry, and may even
cancel a visa at the border if the alien cannot demonstrate to their satisfaction
that they will abide by the status their visa grants them.

Visa refusal
In general, an applicant may be refused a visa if he or she is deemed
inadmissible or not allowed to enter the visa-issuing country under that
country's immigration laws. More specifically, a visa may be denied or refused
when the applicant:
has committed fraud, deception or misrepresentation in his or her current
application as well as in a previous application
has obtained a criminal record, has been arrested, or has criminal
charges pending
is considered to be a threat to national security
does not have a good moral character
has previous visa/immigration violations (even if the violations didn't
happen in the country the applicant is seeking a visa for)
cannot prove to have strong ties to their current country of nationality
and/or residence (for those who are applying for temporary or non-immigrant
visas)
intends to reside or work permanently in the country she/he will visit if not
applying for an immigrant or work visa respectively
does not have a legitimate reason for the journey
has no visible means of sustenance
11
does not have travel arrangements (i.e. transport and lodging) in the
destination country
does not have a health/travel insurance valid for the destination and the
duration of stay
is applying on excessively short notice without an exceptionally justifiable
reason
is a citizen of a country to which the destination country is hostile
has a communicable disease, such as tuberculosis
has a passport that expires too soon
Visa policies
Government authorities usually impose administrative entry restrictions on
foreign citizens in three ways - countries whose nationals may enter without a
visa, countries whose nationals may obtain a visa on arrival and countries
whose nationals require a visa in advance. Nationals who require a visa in
advance are usually advised to obtain them at a consular representation of
their destination country. Several countries allow nationals of countries that
require a visa to obtain them online.
The following table lists visa policies of all countries by the number of foreign
nationalities that may enter that country for tourism without a visa or by
obtaining a visa on arrival with normal passport. It also notes countries that
issue electronic visas to certain nationalities. Symbol "+" indicates a country
that limits the visa-free regime negatively by only listing nationals who require
a visa, thus the number represents the number of UN member states reduced
by the number of nationals who require a visa and "+" stands for all possible
non-UN member state nationals that might also not require a visa. "N/A"
indicates countries that have contradictory information on its official websites
and/or information supplied by the Government to IATA. Some countries that
allow visa on arrival do so only at a limited number of entry points. Some
countries such as the European Union member states have a qualitatively
different visa regime between each other as it also includes freedom of
movement.

PEST ANALYSIS
Political
Government stability: If the country is with transparent burecautic & with good
economic development structure that may help the company to congregate
students in coalesance which help industry for better future.
Government law: liberal rules ad regulation helps industry to placing more
students abroad; liberal policy for visa also plays vital roles.
Political issue has arrived while placing student in certain counties like Russia,
Iran, and Iraq etc
Economic
Economic growth: Economic growth of country is growing at stable rate so as
that company is also growing at stable rate Economic growth influence
company to placed better position . The growth of local and foreign national
economies and exchange rates are critical for industry.
Managers also need to consider macroeconomic factor that will have near
terms or long term effect on the success of industry.
Socio-cultural Factors
The social and cultural influences on business vary from country to country.
Depending on the type of business, factors such as the local languages, the
dominant religions, the cultural views toward leisure time, and the age and
lifespan demographics may be critical.
Local socio-cultural characteristics also include attitudes toward
consumerism, environmentalism, and the roles of men and women in society.
However, even home-market norms can change over time, often caused by
shifting demographics due to immigration or aging populations.
13
Technological Factors
The critical role of technology is discussed in more detail later in this section.
For now technological factors have a major bearing on the threats and
opportunities firms encounter.
For example, new technology may make it possible for products and services
to be made more cheaply and to a better standard of quality.
New technology may also provide the opportunity for more innovative
products and services, such as online stock trading and remote working. Such
changes have the potential to change the face of the business landscape.

will affect the company.
Opportunities
Expand strength: Company has to expand its strength in other part of Gujarat
as well as outside Gujarat.

market is one that has common technology use , little brand awareness or
loyalty and is one in which the distribution channels are accessible to all sizes
of organisation , than company should easily find it is easy for new rivals to
enter in market.

24
CS is one of the major constructs of modern marketing. Oliver (2009) defined
satisfaction as the consumers fulfillment response, a judgment that a
product/service feature, or the product or service itself, provided (or is
providing) a pleasurable level of consumption-related fulfillment, including
levels of under- of over-fulfillment.
CS was however mainly studied from a consumer perspective (Westbrook
2000) and has found a series of antecedents to and outcomes from
satisfaction (Oliver 2009). Besides positive word-of-mouth it is thought that
increased satisfaction leads also to higher loyalty which in turn leads to higher
profits (Hallowell 1996; Kumar et al 2008; Anderson and Mittal 2000). It is
through this relationship that CS was popularized and attracted the attention
of practitioners.
Along the years numerous theoretical models of the satisfaction process have
been developed and tested. The importance of several antecedents has been
confirmed, including expectations, disconfirmation (Oliver and DeSarbo 1988),
performance, experience- based norms, equity/fairness, affect/emotion,
desires congruency. Szymanski and Henard (2001) used the framework by
Oliver to guide their meta-analysis and found that equity and
disconfirmation are most strongly related to customer satisfaction on average.
According to Oliver (2009) meeting expectations will at best result in avoiding
dissatisfaction; extreme disconfirmations will induce exceptional emotional
states (either positive or negative) which have been reported to be linked to
loyalty (Vanhamme and Snelders, 2001).
Oliver (2009) draws parallels between the Maslows needs theory, the
Herzbergs two-factor analysis and the Kano approach to satisfiers and
dissatisfiers to shed light on a consumer perspective of need satisfaction
theory. Product and services would possess three kinds of characteristics with
the potential of influencing satisfaction/dissatisfaction.
25
Monovalent dissatisfiers are those attributes which, when flawed, cause
consumers dissatisfaction. Monovalent satisfiers on the contrary fulfill higher-
order needs and have the potential of influencing satisfaction.
Payne and Holt (2001) analyzed in an extensive research the different
concepts of value and distinguished nine core streams of research on value
theory which can be divided into three main groups: key influences, recent
perspectives and newer developments. Customer satisfaction is addressed
under the key influences together with service quality because the academic
work on these subjects is concerned with the definition, measurement and
evaluation of value output. Recent perspectives on value encompass creating
and delivering superior customer value, value of the customer, and customer-
perceived value. Work carried out on creating and delivering superior
customer value states that the success of a firm depends on its ability to
deliver to the customers what is of value to them. Gale (1994) and Naumann
(1995) proposed models to manage customer value. Gale concluded that
superior quality is essential to remain competitive but Naumann found that
quality was not enough and proposed his customer value triad model based
on product quality, service quality and value-based prices. Customer-
perceived value is more customer-centric and defined by Woodruff (1997) as
a customers perceived preference for and evaluation of those product
attributes, attribute performances, and consequence arising from use that
facilitate (or block) achieving the customers goals and purpose in use
situations . Customer- perceived value was introduced as an evolution of
customer satisfaction measurement which, in that scholars view, was too
firm-centric. According to Payne and Holt (2001) the customer-perceived
value is important because it links desired product or service attributes and
performances to desired consequences within the usage context, as well
providing a linkage to the customers goals and purposes. Newer
developments emphasize the role of relationship in value creation. Wilson and
J antrania (1994) stressed that any relationship creates value for both parties.
According to Grnroos (1997) value is created and delivered over time as the
relationship develops.
26
The latest perspectives on customer value confirm the role of co-creation
processes (Little 2004) and reinforce Normann and Ramirez (1993)
anticipated value constellation concept.
Customer satisfaction, loyalty and business performance.The rationale
for CRM is that it improves business performance by enhancing customer
satisfaction and driving up customer loyalty (see figure 4). There is a
compelling logic to the model, which has been dubbed the satisfaction-profit
chain (Anderson and Mittal, 2000). Satisfaction increases because customer
insight allows companies to understand their customers better, and create
improved customer value propositions. As customer satisfaction rises, so
does customer repurchase intention(Anderson,1994).This in turn influences
actual purchasing behaviour, which has a significant impact on business
performance.
Customer satisfaction has been the subject of considerable research
and has been defined and measured in various ways (Oliver, 1997).
Customer satisfaction may be defined as the customers fulfillment response
to a consumption experience, or some part of it. Customer satisfaction I a
pleasurable fulfillment response while dissatisfaction is an unpleasurable one
(Buttle, 2004). Satisfaction and dissatisfaction are two ends of a continuum,
where the location is defined by a comparison between expectations and
outcome. Customers would be satisfied if the outcome of the service meets
expectations. When the service quality exceeds the expectations, the service
provider has won a delighted customer. Dissatisfaction will occur when the
perceived overall service quality does not meet expectations (Looy, Gemmel
&Dierdonck, 2003). Sometimes customers expectations are met, yet the
customer is not satisfied. This occurs when the expectations are low (Buttle,
2005). For example, the customer expects the flight to be late and it gets late.
Customer satisfaction is considered to be one of the most important outcomes
of all marketing activities in a market-oriented firm. The obvious need for
satisfying the firms customer is to expand the business, to gain a higher
market share, and to acquire repeat and referral business, all of which lead to
27
improved profitability (Barsky, 1992). Studies conducted by Cronin and Taylor
(1992) in service sectors such as: banking, pest control, dry cleaning, and fast
food; found that customer satisfaction has a significant effect on purchase
intentions in all four sectors. Similarly, in the health-care sector, Mc
Alexanderet al. (1994) found that patient satisfaction and service quality
have a significant effect on future purchase intentions.(Kandampully and
Suhartanto, 2000)
Customer loyalty can be defines as customer behavior characterized by a
positive buying pattern during an extended period (measured by means of
repeat purchase, frequency of purchase, wallet share or other indicators) and
driven by a positive attitude towards the company and its products or
services (Looy, Gemmel & Dierdonck, 2003).
Practitioners and researchers have not clearly identified a theoretical
framework, identifying factors that could lead to the development of
customer loyalty (Gremler and Brown, 1997). However, there is a
consensus amongst practitioners and academics that customer satisfaction
and service quality are prerequisites of loyalty (Gremler and Brown, 1997;
Cronin and Taylor, 1992). Those technical, economical and psychological
factors that influence customers to switch suppliers are considered to be
additional prerequisites of loyalty (Selnes, 1993; Gremler and Brown, 1997).
Recent studies also indicate that the firms image may influence customer
enthusiasm: value, delight, and loyalty (Bhote, 1996).(Kandampully and
Suhartanto, 2000)
Customer loyalty can be viewed in two distinct ways (Jacoby and Kyner,
1973). The first views loyalty as an attitude. Different feelings create an
individuals overall attachment to a product, service, or organization (see
Fornier, 1994). These feelings define the individuals (purely cognitive) degree
of loyalty. The second view of loyalty is behavioral. Examples of loyalty
behaviour include continuing to purchase services from the same supplier,
increasing the scale and or scope of a relationship, or the act of
recommendation (Yi, 1990). The behavioral view of loyalty is similar to loyalty
as defined in the service management literature. In brief, there are two
28
dimensions to customer loyalty: behavioral and attitudinal (J ulanderet al.,
1997). The behaviour dimension refers to a customers behaviour on repeat
purchases, indicating a preference for a brand or a service over time (Bowen
and Shoemaker, 1998). Attitudinal dimensions, on the other hand, refer to a
customers intention to repurchase and recommend, which are good
indicators of a loyal customer (Getty and Thompson, 1994). Moreover, a
customer who has the intention to repurchase and recommend is very likely to
remain with the company.
Customer attitude being difficult to measure, for financial and practical
purposes, customer retention is widely used as an indicator of customer
loyalty. Researchers have combined both views into comprehensive models
of customer loyalty. Dick and Basu (1994) came up with a two-dimensional
model of customer loyalty identifying four forms of loyalty according to relative
attitudinal strength and repeat purchase behavior. The true loyal are those
who have high levels of repeat purchase behavior and a strong relative
attitude. Spuriously loyal customers tend to be more motivated by impulse,
convenience and habit i.e. if the conditions are right. Latent loyalty applies to
those customers who are loyal simply because they have no other choice.
Lastly, there will always be some customers who shall not be loyal to any
particular brand.
