Visa Without Consultant – Transparent & Ethical Pathways
One of the most impactful discussions centered on how students can obtain visas without consultants. Syed Aun Shah explained a transparent and ethical approach where students are guided through official channels, reducing dependence on agents and minimizing financial exploitation.
This model focuses on educating students about embassy procedures, legal documentation, visa categories, and compliance requirements. By empowering students with accurate information, universities can help them confidently navigate the visa process independently.
