Common questions

Does Probashiyan guarantee a job or visa?

No. We provide preparation, training, document readiness, and process support; final decisions rest with employers and authorities.

Is the cost shown in “Find my path” a final price?

No. It is an initial planning range. You need a written quotation after your profile and service scope are reviewed.

How do I verify an agency or offer?

Check the license, official office, employer identity, written agreement, application reference, and receipts. Use the checklist on our Safety page.

Can I get help choosing a guide or course?

Yes. Enter your country, trade, and stage in “Find my path” to see relevant preparation steps.

Are costs the same for everyone?

No. Costs vary by country, trade, training, documents, and personal situation. Calculator results are preparatory estimates only.

What should I verify before paying?

Confirm written scope, total price, refund policy, official numbers, and receipts. Do not make unauthorized transfers to personal numbers.
