Studying abroad is the dream of many students and, with proper guidance, this dream can
definitely come true if your assessment and eligibility criteria are checked properly. Not only
this, after fulfilling all the edibility criteria, it is very important to take every step properly as
every step is very crucial and one mistake can hamper the whole process of enrollment at a
university abroad. So, to tackle these situations, an education counsellor can be your savior,
advisor and support system as well.
A study abroad counselor precisely helps students to find the right academic institute and the
right course to explore. They also help to collect all necessary information on a student visa,
scholarship, give guidance on how to provide funding documents, health insurance purchase
process and lastly assistance on visa submission. So, there are so many factors that a study
abroad counselor handles which smoothens the process of a student’s study abroad goals. Let us
elaborate a little in more detail what are the top reasons that you must take the help of a study
abroad counselor while applying for a student visa-

Experience & guidance
Every year, study abroad counselors send many students to study abroad. They do this out of
passion and living for years. So, it’s their profession which makes them expert in this field of
sending students. No matter what kind of questions and doubts a student can have studying
abroad, a counselor is always there to help with any buts and ifs.

Affiliation with universities around the world
Study abroad counsellors have affiliation with many top universities around the world. You can
directly talk to representatives from your selected universities during the many international
education fairs and expos conducted based on study abroad.

Shortlisting preferences
Shortlisted preferences can be really difficult and confusing at times. There are so many options
to choose from, but we can’t go for all right? In that case, a study abroad counselor can be a
blessing for you. By checking your profile matching with the university’s requirements and
eligibility criteria, they can easily guide you for the best options you can for studying. They will
come with a brief, personalized list of institutions that are well-suited to you.

Provides ways to discover multiple pathways
What if you don’t meet the university’s requirements? Study abroad counsellors can suggest other
ways to make up for it, like writing a great Statement of Purpose (SOP). They can help you
choose courses to take before starting a full degree program. These courses include foundation
and pre-degree courses. This means that you can still go study overseas, even if you need to take
a course to prepare for it.

Assistance with the application
Methods of application for studying vary depending on the destination. Different universities in
the same country have many requirements before you can apply to them. When you have a study
abroad counsellor helping you, you just need to give them information and then relax while they
take care of all the paperwork.

Get regular update on application process
After you send in your application, you might worry a lot about whether or not they’ll let you in.
You might wonder why it’s taking so long to hear back. Now is the time when things become
really stressful. Many universities don’t show you the progress of your application on their
website. You have to keep checking your email many times and wait until they send you a
message.

But if you apply through a study abroad counsellor you can get up to date information about the
progress of your application

Guidance on funding and budgeting
Money is an important factor for anyone who wants to study abroad. From tuition fees to daily
expenses is going to be expensive. Study abroad counsellors can help you find ways to pay for
your education, like scholarships or loans. They can also suggest ways to manage your money
wisely while studying abroad so that you can spend an affordable and relax life.

The visa process gets easier
Visa processes change in different countries, just like applying to universities does. The people
who check your immigration papers are usually very strict and might say no to letting you in if
you don’t have all the right paperwork or if you don’t behave properly. Study abroad counsellors
can assist you in gathering all the required documents and requesting the proper visa.

Pre-departure guidance
Leaving your own country is really a hard task. At this point, you might feel happy, afraid, and a
little bit sad because you’ll miss your family. When you have many different feelings at once, it
can be hard to remember everything you need to pack, like your documents, medical papers, and
money. Counsellors can help you organize and fix your situation. They will help you remember
important things and make sure you are ready for your life journey.
