Admissions & visas
Foreign university admissions & visas
Course choice decides where you can live and work after graduation. We shortlist courses on post-study work rights, occupation lists and total cost — and on whether the country lets you stay back to work or settle permanently. That is what makes Kompass your certified partner from study abroad to PR.
What's included
From shortlist to post-arrival compliance
Admissions and the student visa are one project here — the course you choose shapes everything that follows it.
Course & campus shortlist
Matched to your academics, budget, target intake and the career — and country — you want to end up in.
Application management
Applications to multiple universities and colleges, credential evaluation, scholarship submissions and side-by-side offer comparison.
SOP, LOR & essays
Statement of purpose, letters of recommendation and scholarship essays drafted, reviewed and aligned into one credible narrative.
Student visa filing
The genuine student requirement, supporting documents and the visa application prepared and lodged as one consistent file.
Pre-departure support

Stay-back & PR planning

Destinations
Every major study destination has its own page
Education systems, popular universities and institutes, intakes and post-study options — country by country.
Australia
Strong graduate work rights, regional incentives and a clear line from study to skilled migration. The most common destination in this practice.

Our process
How an admissions file runs
Every engagement runs the same way, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.
Profile evaluation
Academics, backlogs, gaps, test scores and budget reviewed before any university is named.
Shortlist & counselling
Six to ten realistic options across two or three countries, with honest ambitious / balanced / safe labels.
SOP, LOR & documents
Statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, resume and portfolios drafted, reviewed and submitted with each application.
Offers & decisions
Offers compared on total cost, work rights, stay-back options and graduate outcomes — not on brochures.
Visa file
Enrolment confirmation, funds evidence, health cover and the student visa application lodged together.
Departure & landing
Pre-departure briefing, arrival support and post-arrival compliance so nothing is missed in the first month.
