What does it really cost?
There are four separate costs, and anyone who quotes only the first is not being straight with you: tuition, living expenses, one-off costs before departure, and the funds you must be able to show in the bank for the visa file — which is not spent, but must genuinely be there.
How is the money shown for a visa?
Every destination has its own rule about how much must be shown, for how long, and in whose account. We explain the exact requirement before anything is submitted. We do not arrange or advise on artificial funds — files built that way are the ones that get refused.
Questions worth asking any consultancy
- What is your registration number?
- What is the total cost, including funds to be shown?
- What is your service fee, and what does it cover?
- What happens if the visa is refused?
- Who handles my child’s file, and can I meet them?
- Can I speak to a past student?
