A school place, another country
These signs hold for every country.
A school you cannot find on its government's own site.
Look for the school there under its own name, not the agent's.
Anyone other than the school selling you an admission.
The school gives its own admission.
A letter you cannot confirm with the school itself.
A name on a list does not prove the letter came from the school. Write to the school through the contact on its own site, and ask.
Anyone who says the place or the visa is certain.
No one can promise you the place or the visa.
A fee that is not on the government's own page.
Any fee for the visa should be on that government's own page.
Only the government that issues the visa decides.
This shows you where to look. It is not advice about your own case.
