How StudentFlow services work

Official fees

What about visa, permit, health and test fees?

Government and test-centre fees are set by the authorities and change. So we never show an amount here. Each card links the official page for the current figure.

No surprises

What did we assume?

Anything you did not tell us is listed here, so you can change it.

  • Every date is counted back from Apr 2027. A month on its own is treated as its first day.
  • We assumed you are still exploring, with no partner or children travelling with you, no job offer yet and no province chosen, so steps for those are left out or shown in general terms.
  • We count every step from the beginning. If you have already done some, they are ticked off when you save your plan.
  • No departure city given, so the sample fare uses Delhi (DEL).
  • Due dates come from our journey rules. We do not predict how long any official application takes.
  • Sample prices from our demo partners — not a quote. Official fees are set by the authorities, so we link their pages and never show an amount.
