Hafiz Abdul Baqi & Co

Student applications fail on two things far more often than on academic merit: money, and coherence. The financial requirement is specified precisely in every major destination, and a study plan that does not explain why this course, in this country, at this point in the applicant's life will not survive scrutiny.

The choice of destination should follow from the applicant's profile and objectives — including whether they intend to work after study — rather than from where an agent has a relationship.

Routes we cover

  • University and college admission documentation
  • Financial evidence and sponsor documentation
  • Study plans and statements of purpose
  • Dependent applications for spouse and children where permitted
  • Post-study work route guidance
  • Refusal review and reapplication

What we do from Pakistan

  • Realistic assessment of which destinations suit your profile and budget
  • Financial documentation in the specified format for the destination
  • Explaining and evidencing the source of funds, which is scrutinised closely
  • Study plans and statements addressing genuineness directly
  • Verification and attestation of academic transcripts and degrees
  • Dependant applications where the route permits them
  • Review of a refusal before reapplying

A word on agents

Much study-abroad advice in Pakistan is given by agents paid commission by institutions. That is not improper in itself, but it means the recommendation may reflect the commission rather than the applicant's interest.

We are not paid by institutions. Where we think a proposed course or destination is a poor fit, or the finances do not work, we say so.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

How much money do I need to show for a student visa?

It varies by destination and is specified precisely: tuition plus living costs for a defined period, held for a defined number of days, evidenced in a defined format. The holding period and the format cause more refusals than the amount.

Can my spouse come with me?

It depends on the destination and the level of study. Several countries have narrowed dependant rights for taught courses in recent years. This should be checked for your specific route before you commit to a course.

Will a refusal from one country affect applications to another?

Previous refusals are generally disclosable and are frequently visible to other countries through information sharing. Concealing one is far more damaging than the refusal itself, and can result in a finding of deception.

Consultancy and advice only. No outcome is guaranteed. The decision on any application rests entirely with the deciding authority, and no adviser can promise a visa. Immigration advice is also a regulated activity in most destination countries: the firm’s work is carried out from Pakistan — eligibility assessment against published rules, documentation, verification, attestation and supporting submissions — and where a matter requires regulated representation in the destination country we coordinate with advisers regulated there. Requirements change frequently; check the current position before acting.

Enquiries

Prepared properly, or not submitted.

We would rather tell you an application is not ready than take a fee for one that will be refused.
