What you can look up

Visa fees

What the list cannot tell you

That an admission letter is real. The university's own portal is where to look.

Signs to watch for

A university that is not on the list.

Look for the university under its own name, not the agent's.

An admission sold by someone other than the university.

The university gives its own admission.

Only the government that issues the visa decides.

This shows you where to look. It is not advice about your own case.
