Each step starts with the student's actual information and ends with a clear verification or decision point.
2. Payment timing
Match each payment with the offer, enrolment and visa sequence instead of treating the budget as one figure.
3. Evidence review
Identify the financial documents required by the selected institution and destination.
4. Contingency
Keep a buffer for exchange-rate movement, unexpected document requests and arrival costs.
