Frequently asked questions
Does this budget establish eligibility?
No. Use the official authority to check the route and the conditions that apply to you. A cost calculation is not an immigration decision.
Are proof of funds and expenses the same?
No. Financial evidence shows that money is available; some of it may later pay living costs or tuition. Adding both figures can double-count the same money.
What does Premium include?
Premium unlocks this plan’s full roadmap, checklist, savings planner and downloadable guide. It does not include government fees or visa representation.
