Clarify three things before starting
Your purpose and circumstances
Clarify whether your purpose is job search, employment with a contract, study, family reunion, training, a corporate transfer or a short visit. This determines the route.
Fees, contract & invoice
Record the service scope, fees and payment schedule, and confirm the contracting entity, invoicing and other terms.
Timeline and stages
Clarify assessment, preparation, submission and follow-up stages, distinguishing preparation time from official processing time.
Before the service starts
Six questions to discuss
Clarify the plan, fees, safeguards and progress before work begins.
How do you determine which route suits me?
We discuss your purpose, education or professional background, language level, contracts and timeline, then check key conditions and missing documents. Preparation starts once the route and service scope are agreed.
How are fees, contracts and invoices agreed?
Before payment, confirm the services, fees, payment stages and contracting entity in writing. State whether official fees, notarisation, translation and other third-party costs are extra, and agree the invoice arrangements.
What should I check before paying?
Check the contracting entity, account or payment channel, amount and purpose. Pay under the agreed terms and keep the receipt. Confirm any changes in payment details or fees with your adviser first.
How will my personal documents be used?
Provide only documents needed for the application. Before sharing with schools, partners or authorities, clarify the purpose, recipient and scope. Do not send unrelated passwords or verification codes.
How does the service proceed?
Under the agreement, we assess your background, prepare the checklist and documents, review the application, assist submission and follow up. Each stage specifies what you provide and who handles the next step.
How long does it take, and what if plans change?
Preparation, third-party documents, appointments and official processing are estimated separately, then a staged schedule is agreed. If documents, appointments or plans change, we discuss the impact and next steps. Decisions and processing times remain with the authorities.
