StudentFlow organises your trip and links official sources. It does not give immigration, tax or legal advice, and it is not a licensed immigration consultant, lawyer or tax adviser. Your employer’s mobility or legal team, or a licensed adviser, decides what applies to your case. Rules, fees and thresholds change, so every guide links to the official source. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.

Want these as a checklist with deadlines?

StudentFlow turns the guides into your own trip plan, with a deadline on every step and your outbound travel date as the anchor.
