People planning to study, work or settle abroad are making life-changing decisions, and they're wary of scams. An immigration or visa consultancy website must be accurate, transparent and trustworthy above all.

Services by country and visa type

Organise services by destination country and visa category (study, work, visitor, dependant, permanent residence). For each, explain who it suits, general eligibility, the process and how you help. Link to official government sources for current requirements.

Accuracy is non-negotiable

• Immigration rules change frequently. Date your content and review it regularly.
• Never guarantee visas or outcomes
• Distinguish clearly between general information and personalised advice
• Check whether your role requires specific registrations or licences in the countries you advise on, and display them

Transparent process and fees

• Step-by-step process from consultation to application
• Your service fees vs government fees, clearly separated
• What documents clients typically need
• Refund policy

Build trust

• Team credentials and experience
• Office address, registration details and photos
• Genuine client testimonials, with permission
• A warning section on common visa scams, which shows you're on the client's side

Study-abroad advisers: see websites for overseas education consultants.

Consultation booking

• Form with destination, visa type, education or work background and timeline
• WhatsApp and video consultation options
• Clear privacy handling for personal documents; see privacy basics

SEO

• Target "{country} student visa consultant in {city}" and similar specific searches
• Helpful, accurate guides for each destination, reviewed regularly
