Financial & Residency Planning Considerations
While formal financial documents are not required during your first exploratory consultation, coming with an estimated annual budget helps counselors narrow down choices effectively. Key points to think about include:
- Self-funding vs. education loan requirements (collateral or non-collateral).
- Preferred post-study work visa duration (e.g., 3-year STEM OPT in USA vs. 2-year PSW in UK or Ireland).
- Long-term permanent residency (PR) goals vs. returning to India after career acceleration.
