What we do

From the first conversation to your visa

We help Myanmar students and their families choose a country and a university, prepare the documents, apply, and get the visa. Our service ends when the visa is approved, and we are clear about that from the start.

University placement
We shortlist three institutions you will actually be admitted to, prepare the application, and follow it until the offer letter arrives.
Passport and documents
Passport application guidance, certified translation of Burmese transcripts, notarisation, and matriculation results converted into the format each country accepts.
Financial proof
The bank statements, sponsor letters and transfer routes each embassy accepts, prepared correctly the first time, because a rejection costs you an intake.
Visa and student pass
Embassy appointments, application forms, interview preparation, and the timing that decides whether you make your intake or wait six months.
Language preparation
IELTS for Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. JLPT for Japan, TOPIK for Korea, HSK for China, including which level you genuinely need, not the level that sells more classes.

How we work

Four promises we keep

Honest advice first

If a destination is not right for you, we say so and point you to one that is. We would rather move you than lose you.

Clear about money

The consultation is always free. Everything is free at our partner universities, and a service fee applies for other universities, depending on the country. Tuition always goes straight to the university.

Families are welcome

Most decisions are made together. Parents are welcome at every meeting, in English or Burmese, and no question is too small.

A team, not one person

You start with a counsellor. When you decide to apply, our admission team takes over the application, and our visa team takes over when your offer letter arrives.

Counsellors and students in a relaxed discussion

Your first conversation

We listen first, and give you the honest picture

A counsellor looks at your results, your English and your budget, explains the real cost of each country, and shortlists the universities that will accept you. You leave with two or three options that genuinely fit, not a long list to sort through alone.

With your family

Decisions are easier when everyone is in the room

Studying abroad is a family decision, so we plan it with you and your parents together. We go through the figures, the timeline and the risks in plain language, and put everything in writing so nobody has to remember it all.

Behind the scenes

A team that shares what it learns

Fees, intakes and visa rules change often. Our counsellors, admission team and visa team work from the same information, so the answer you get on Monday is the one the visa team uses on Friday.

The team

The people you will talk to

Counsellors, the admission team and the visa team all work from our Yangon office.
