Questions

Questions students and parents ask us

Straight answers to what families ask in their first meeting. If yours is not here, ask us on Viber.

Your question is not here?

Ask it your way, in English or Burmese. A counsellor replies.

Is Think Asia really free?

The consultation is always free. At our partner universities everything is free, because they pay us when you enrol. For any other university, a service fee covers the application and visa work, depending on the country. Tuition always goes straight to the university.

Which university will actually accept me?

We check your results, English and budget against each university's real entry rules, shortlist the ones that will accept you, and apply for you.

Book a free consultation

Do I need IELTS?

Not always. Many universities accept their own English test or a foundation year. We confirm the exact test and level: IELTS, JLPT, TOPIK or HSK.

How do I show enough money for the visa?

We tell you what each embassy and university expects, and prepare your bank statements and sponsor letters right the first time. A rejection can cost an intake.

How long does the whole process take?

Plan on several months. It depends on the country, the intake you aim for and how quickly your documents are ready. We work back from your intake and give you a calendar, so nothing is left to the last minute.

What if my visa is rejected?

Most rejections come from small mistakes or late applications, so we check every form and prepare your interview. If it still happens, we find out why and reapply, or move you to the next intake. No agent can guarantee a visa.

Ready to talk?Start with one message

Tell us where you are now and where you want to go, and we will take it from there. The consultation is always free.
