The shield. Admissions and visas.
Every document prepared and checked three times, every deadline met, and the visa file submitted the way the embassy expects it.
Admissions and visas is where most families lose months to a missing apostille or a wrong photograph. The team works to a zero-error-tolerance standard: every form, every signature and every supporting document is checked three times before submission.
What is included
Six parts of admissions and visas
Document preparation and management
Guidance on compiling, verifying and optimising every application document: 10+2 marksheets, NEET scorecard, passport, birth certificate, SOP, LOR, migration certificate and medical fitness certificates.
SOP and LOR writing
Professional writing support for the Statement of Purpose and Letters of Recommendation, each customised to the university's expectations and selection criteria.
Apostille and document translation
Apostille and certified translation for every required document through a network of certified translators, so translations are accurate and legally compliant.
Visa filing to a zero-error standard

The other two services
Where admissions and visas sits
The three services run in sequence over the six-step roadmap: counselling first and free, admissions and visas when the family proceeds, and placement and support from the day the student lands.
The compass
Academic counselling
A data-backed shortlist of universities that fit the student, the budget and the career plan, before a single rupee is committed.
The anchor
Placement and support
Someone on the ground from the airport to graduation: safe accommodation, a 24/7 local coordinator and a connection to the Indian student community.

Questions about admissions and visas
Who decides on admission and on the visa?
The university decides on admission and the foreign government decides on the visa. Our job is to prepare both files to the highest standard and to keep you informed at every step.
How long does the visa take?
It depends on the country: Georgian D-type visas take four to eight weeks, European cycles eight to twelve, and Nepal needs no visa for Indian nationals. The timeline is set out on the how it works page.
Do you handle the DGME step for Bangladesh?
Yes. Bangladesh requires DGME approval through its portal before admission; Global Minds handles the registration and equivalency check.
