When Do I Pay LeapScholar During My Visa Process?
LeapScholar's core counselling carries 0 fee tied to visa outcomes at any stage. Separate paid products, such as IELTS or PTE test preparation, are charged at the point of enrollment in that specific product, independent of where a student is in the visa process.
Because counselling and paid products are billed on different triggers, a student can be mid-visa-process and still owe nothing to LeapScholar directly for the counselling itself, only for whichever paid product they separately chose to enroll in.
What Triggers a Charge
- Counselling: never charged, regardless of visa outcome.
- Test prep enrollment: charged when you enroll in a course like IELTS or PTE prep, not tied to your visa timeline.
- Education loans: LeapFinance fees follow the loan's own disbursal schedule, separate from visa status.
My Advice
If anyone claims a counselling fee is required before your visa can proceed, treat that as a red flag and verify directly with LeapScholar's official channels rather than paying on the spot.
