Visa questions
What if my visa is refused?
We read the refusal letter with you. Many refusals are about one missing document and can be fixed in a new application.
Can I work while I study?
Usually part time during term and full time in holidays. The exact hours are on each stamp on the Destinations page.
Do you fill in the form for me?
You complete and sign your own application; we check every answer with you before you submit it.
How much money must I show?
It depends on the country and city. We work it out for you in the first meeting.
