Tips for people applying for a visa for PhD: please don't be worried as mostly funded PhD positions are highly competitive than master's peeps so they don't harass you much as them. Be thorough with your future research work what you are planning to do and what you've already done.
Also,
Caution: There's a list called TAL. please Google it. Do not utter any word listed on that list related to your research as it alerts their dog ears which will lead to scrutinize you more.

Expert Advise / Tips:
There is absolutely no need to go in formals, i have seen people in formals sweating before interview and no need to go too early coz you will have to wait in the sun as there is no shade there so 15 mins early should be enough and take it like a conversation :)
