What happens if my visa is rejected or I want to cancel my English program?

Each school and program has its own refund or cancellation policy. Please contact us for more details. Generally, the application fee is non refundable, while all other fees are refundable. The application fee varies by school, but on average it is around 150 US dollars. Since all fees are paid directly to the schools, they will be responsible for issuing any refunds.

What payment options are available?

Additionally, some schools provide more advanced solutions through platforms such as Flywire or Nexpay. These platforms are designed specifically for international students, offering a variety of payment options such as credit cards or local bank transfers, often with lower transaction fees.

When should the English program be paid?

The payment schedule of the program varies depending on the country you are applying to and the specific school. For example, Australia requires all fees to be paid before you can apply for a student visa. In other countries and schools, payment deadlines may differ; some require payment before a certain date, while others allow students to pay during the first week of classes at the school.

Do English study abroad programs include health insurance?

Some programs include health insurance in the program fees, while others offer it as an optional extra. In general, full time study programs require you to have health insurance.
