Refund rules, deadlines, FX risk and how receipts fit with visa evidence.
A deposit secures your seat; amounts and refund policies vary. Read whether deposits are non-refundable and what happens if a visa is refused.
Use official payment rails—card, bank transfer or the university portal—and keep receipts and reference numbers. FX moves can change the real cost; ask your bank about spreads and fees.
Deposits can support visa credibility but draining all liquidity at once may clash with proof-of-funds planning—model cash flow with an advisor.
Fraud alert: pay only through official institutional links; never wire to personal accounts claiming to be agents.
