Visiting Studentship, how relevant is it to PhD candidates?

G

I believe that securing visiting studentship in schools in developed countries could be easier and cheaper for a PhD student from a developing society, or at least better than not being able to secure a fellowship. Please is this right? Who will suggest somehing to me?

Being a visiting student is a good way of increasing research experience. However, a visitor is typically unpaid and not registered for a degree, it is not a substitute for a funded PhD or postdoc position.
