Honest assessment first
Does Goreto take on every UK applicant?
No. We assess your profile first, and we tell you plainly if the UK is not a realistic option for you right now.
A refusal costs you fees and months of waiting, and you must declare it on later visa applications. We would rather you hear a hard answer from us than from UKVI.
So before any application, a counselor checks your grades, study gap, English score and funds against what the university and the visa officer expect. You get the result before you pay an application fee or deposit to anyone.
Apply now
Your grades, English and funds already meet what universities and UKVI expect, so we start on your university list.
Wait and strengthen
A weak spot such as funds held for too short a time or a missing gap explanation would hurt you. We give you a plan and a realistic date to apply.
Choose a different path
When the UK is the wrong fit, for example because you need to bring family, we tell you and compare the routes that would work.
It is your money and your future, so the final call is yours.

UK problems we solve
Which UK problems does Goreto solve for Nepali students?
Most UK refusals from Nepal come down to a handful of problems, and we deal with each one before your application goes to UKVI.
You are worried about the interview
Many universities interview Nepali applicants before they issue a CAS, and UKVI can call you for a credibility interview too.
How Goreto handles it
We run practice interviews with you until you can explain your course, your university, your costs and your plans in your own words. Answers learned by heart are easy for an interviewer to spot.
See the common UK student visa rejection reasons.
Your funds do not meet the 28-day rule
Your tuition balance and living costs must sit in the account for 28 days in a row, ending within 31 days of your application.
How Goreto handles it
We plan the date your money goes in, so the 28 days are complete before you apply. We also check the source of each deposit, the bank letter and any loan papers, because a gap of even one day can lead to a refusal.
See our UK study financial guide and the bank balance certificate format.
Your university may not issue a CAS
UK universities are judged on how many of their students are refused visas, so many run stricter checks before they issue a CAS.
How Goreto handles it
We shortlist universities where your profile meets their own checks, not just their entry grades. That saves you deposits at places that would stop your CAS later.
Read about the UK university RAG rating and the CAS guide.
You have a study gap
A gap is not a problem in itself, but the university and the visa officer will both ask what you did and why you want to study now.
How Goreto handles it
We document the gap with experience letters, pay records or training certificates. Then we choose a course that follows from that work, so your personal statement explains the gap.
Your spouse wants to join you in the UK
Since 1 January 2024, most master's students cannot bring a partner or children. Only research degrees such as a PhD, or government-sponsored students, qualify.
How Goreto handles it
We tell you at the first meeting whether your course allows dependants, before you pay anything. If family is a deciding factor, we compare the UK with countries that allow it.
The rules are in our UK dependent visa guide.
Your UK visa was refused once
A refusal must be declared on every later application, and sending the same file again usually brings the same answer.
How Goreto handles it
We read the refusal letter with you, because it states the officer’s reasons. Then we fix the weak part, whether that is funds, the interview or your course choice, before you reapply.
See the common rejection reasons and how to avoid them.
You are not sure you need IELTS
Some universities accept your +2 English result instead of IELTS or PTE, but the rules differ by university and course.
How Goreto handles it
We check whether your English marks qualify for a waiver at each university on your list, and tell you when a test would open better options. If a test is the better route, you can prepare at our Kumaripati or Bagbazar classes.
See the minimum IELTS and PTE scores for the UK, and check your grade with the NEB GPA calculator.
You want to work in the UK after graduating
The Graduate Route lasts 2 years if you apply by 31 December 2026, and 18 months if you apply from 1 January 2027.
How Goreto handles it
We plan your course length and start date with you, so you know which rule will apply when you graduate. We also explain the work limit while you study.
See the Graduate Route guide.

We brief you on travel, housing and your eVisa, and on the work and attendance rules while you study.
Institutions
Which UK universities and colleges do Goreto counselors cover?
Our counselors work from detailed guides to 11 UK universities and 9 colleges, so course advice is based on each institution's real requirements.
What happens after your UK visa is granted?
Your UK counselor runs a departure session with you once the visa is in your hands.
- Travel and arrival: what to carry and how to view your eVisa in your UKVI account.
- Housing: the accommodation options and what to arrange before you fly.
- Work: up to 20 hours a week during term on a degree-level course, and how to get a National Insurance number.
- Health: the health surcharge you pay with your visa gives you NHS care.
How do you check a UK consultancy before you sign up?
Put these questions to every UK consultancy you visit, Goreto included.
- Which licence number do you hold from the Ministry of Education?
- How many UK students did you send last year, and how many were refused?
- Why does this university suit my grades, and will it issue me a CAS?
- Will you prepare me for the university interview, or just book it?
- Can I see every charge in writing before I pay?
- Will the UKVI account and the application be in my name, with my login?

FAQs
What else do students ask about choosing Goreto for the UK?
No. Our UK service is free. The costs you do pay go to others: the university deposit, your English test, the TB test, the visa fee and the immigration health surcharge.
