How we charge

Work first. Charge fairly.

Vista began because students were paying high upfront fees for unclear services. We do it the other way round: we deliver the work, then charge for what we delivered.

Free

€200

When we start your process: shortlisting, documents and applications.

Questions students ask

Straight answers.

All 12 questions
What are the consultancy charges?

Full application assistance costs €1,000 in total. You pay €200 at the start of the process and the remaining €800 only after your visa is approved.

If you prefer, we can charge PKR 10,000 per application to a single programme instead of the full package, so you do not have to pay everything at once.

Can students apply without IELTS?

No. We currently accept applications from students who have IELTS or TOEFL scores. We ask for at least IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 4.5 (on the TOEFL 1–6 score scale). Some universities and programmes ask for more.

What are the minimum academic requirements?

As a general guideline, students should have at least:

  • Bachelor’s programmes: 60% in their previous academic qualification
  • Master’s programmes: 2.8 CGPA in their bachelor’s degree
  • PhD programmes: 3.0 CGPA in their master’s degree
  • English: IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 4.5 and above
  • Austria (public universities): 80% in intermediate for bachelor’s and 3.5 CGPA for master’s

Actual admission requirements vary by university, programme and country.

What happens if my visa application is rejected?

The remaining €800 is paid only after your visa is approved. If your visa application is rejected, you do not pay it, and we refund €100 of the €200 initial fee. External expenses already paid, such as university application fees, translations or visa fees, may be non-refundable.
