Student visas, from your offer letter to your first job after graduation.
We help you build a student visa application that meets every requirement, from your funds to your study plan. Where a post-study work route exists, we plan that step too. We support students heading to the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia and the UAE.

Our part, stage by stage.

Documents and forms

- Instructions for translations and legalisation where needed
- Forms completed for you and checked before anything is submitted
Submission and follow-up

The process
From first call to decision.
- 01
Your course and background
You share your offer (or CAS, or letter of acceptance), the course details, how you will pay for it and your academic record.
- 02
Study plan and funds
We help you shape a clear study plan and check your financial evidence against the rules, including which accounts and holding periods are accepted.
- 03
Forms and final checks
We complete the application, check that names and dates match across every document, and review it against the latest official guidance.
- 04
Submission and appointments
We submit, pay the official fees on your behalf where needed, book biometrics or an interview, and run a mock interview with you.
- 05
Decision and next steps
If you are approved, we help with enrolment, travel timing and registration. If you are refused, we review the decision and help you prepare a stronger fresh application or a review request, working alongside a regulated adviser or lawyer where the law requires one.
Before you start
It helps if you already have:
- An unconditional offer or the acceptance document your destination needs (such as a CAS or letter of acceptance)
- Enough money for tuition, living costs and any dependants, at the current required level
- A study plan that fits your academic background and future goals
- The ability to meet health, character and attendance requirements
Missing something? That does not rule you out. Tell us where things stand and we will look at your options.
