Unfortunately, visa applications are not always successful. If this happens to you, you must show us a Visa Refusal Letter from the Embassy/Consulate you applied to. Once we have a copy of this, we will refund any money you have paid us except for a £250 administration fee and any bank charges we have to pay in order to transfer your money back.

TEG Colleges are British Council accredited and are allowed to admit Short Term Visas (6 month, 11 month and child) as we are approved by Accreditation UK.
