Documentation Guidance for Nepali Students

Applying to study abroad is exciting, but the documentation process is one of the most critical steps for Nepali students. Even a small mistake in academic, financial, or visa documents can lead to application delays or visa rejection. That is why proper documentation guidance is essential for a successful study abroad journey.
