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 Jan 2027. A month on its own is treated as its first day.
  • We assumed you are still exploring and that your employer books nothing for you. Short business trips are planned as short stays; every other trip type is planned as a longer stay. Add your dates when you save your plan to refine this.
  • We count every step from the beginning. If you have already done some, they are ticked off when you save your plan.
  • 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.
