Can I apply for a student visa if I have a 9 year gap in studies? 

Yes, you can still apply for a student visa even if you have a 9-year gap in your studies. Many countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and others, do not have strict age limits or restrictions on educational gaps for student visa applicants. What's most important in the student visa application process is demonstrating your genuine intent to study and meeting the specific requirements set by the educational institution and the immigration authorities of the country you plan to study in.

While a long gap in studies may raise questions during the visa application process, you can address these concerns by providing a clear and convincing explanation of your reasons for the gap and how it relates to your decision to pursue further education now. You should also demonstrate that you have the necessary qualifications and resources to succeed in your chosen course of study.
