Frequently asked questions

Is this the complete list of recognized institutions?

No. The institutions above are a small, individually-verified shortlist, not the full list. The official register linked above is the authoritative, complete list — an institution not seeded here can still be entirely legitimate.

Is this page AI-generated?

No. Every figure and link on this page is individually sourced against an official government page, with a verification date — the same standard used across the rest of VIO.

Does VIO guarantee my visa will be approved?

No. VIO is not a law firm or migration agency and no outcome is ever guaranteed. It helps you prepare and self-check your application against real, sourced rules.
