Yes. Studies Abroads does not charge students for counselling. You only pay third-party costs - such as university application, English test and visa fees - directly to the organisations concerned. See our Fees page for the full list.

Generally you need your passport, university acceptance letter, financial proof, academic transcripts, language test scores (IELTS or TOEFL), and visa application forms. Requirements vary by country.

The process typically takes 3 to 6 months from application to visa. We recommend starting at least 6 months before your intended intake.

Yes, in most countries, within limits set by each government. For example: USA - generally up to 20 hours a week on campus during term; UK - usually up to 20 hours a week during term for degree-level students; Canada - up to 24 hours a week off campus during academic sessions; Australia - up to 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session. Rules change, so always check your visa conditions and the official government website.

We help you check your documents against the official requirements for your country and practise for the visa interview. Visa decisions are made only by the immigration authorities, so no consultant can guarantee a visa.

Students should ideally start preparing 10–15 months before the intake. Early planning gives you more time for university research, document preparation, and application submissions.

Most universities require academic transcripts, a Statement of Purpose (SOP), Letters of Recommendation (LORs), a resume, and a valid passport. Additional requirements may vary by university and program.

Not necessarily. Since 15 September 2026 new F-1 admissions have a fixed end date instead of duration of status, and some students on OPT may need to file an extension of stay. The impact depends on your situation - check with your university's international office and Study in the States (studyinthestates.dhs.gov).

Students should regularly check official U.S. government and university websites for the latest information.
