Full details, step by step

You move to another country to study. ForiForeign finds the programmes, you choose where to apply, and we prepare and process your applications with you, from your own address, reading every reply up to the offer letter. Then, included in the same package, we handle the visa application process with you, step by step, from your own laptop: documents, online forms, appointment and submission, to the visa decision. One payment of $149; you pay the university and the visa fees directly.

FreeYour account, your CV read and analysed, your documents stored, and your 8 matched programmes, each scored, each with its intelligence summary, before you are asked for anything.
Fori-Study $149One package, one payment, one complete study journey. 8 matched programmes; choose any 5; 5 applications prepared, customised and processed with you, then tracked to the offer stage. Once unlocked, a choice cannot be swapped. Prices are shown in your own currency in brackets at the day’s rate.
Visa processing, includedAfter an eligible offer, admission or invitation, the same package carries you on: the visa document checklist, online registration and forms, the official portal, appointment and submission guidance, and interview preparation, from your own laptop. No visa package, no second payment. The immigration authority decides.
Second Chance, includedIf your first five applications do not result in an eligible offer in that admission cycle, we review the outcome, identify relevant gaps where possible, and give you 8 new matched programmes for the next eligible cycle. Choose any 5 and apply again. Once, and nothing more to pay.

1 · Start

FreeCreating your account and having your CV read costs nothing, and you are not asked for a card.

The dashboard: your next step and your progress
Your dashboard always shows one next step, with its button.
  1. Create your account at foriforeign.com, then choose Study abroad. You can change lane from your dashboard at any time.
  2. Upload your CV: press Upload CV. Your profile writes itself from it: degrees with years, experience to the month, skills, languages, tests and licences. Check it under Profile and correct anything the reader got wrong.
  3. Your ForiForeign address (name@forimail.com) is created for you. Every application goes from it and every reply comes back to it, so nothing is lost in a personal inbox.
  4. Everything happens online. ForiForeign does the work through this platform; there is no office to visit.

2 · Your documents

FreeUploading and storing your documents is free, however many you add, and stays free.

Profile and the document vault
Profile: what your CV said about you, and every document you have added.
  1. Add degrees, transcripts, test scores, passports and licences under Profile, or straight from a case with Upload. They are read, dated and kept in your document vault.
  2. Uploaded once, used everywhere: a document already in your vault shows as Available on every case that needs it, and you are never asked for it again.
  3. Written for you, never invented: ForiForeign drafts a statement of purpose, a motivation letter, a research proposal or a covering letter from what you actually have. Your CV is sent exactly as you uploaded it. Nothing is ever forged: no certificate, no result, no signature.

3 · Search

FreeSearching is free, and so is seeing why you match. Your scored matches with the intelligence summary and your CV analysis are shown before payment is mentioned.

  1. Press Find my matches. Filters come from your CV; change them with Adjust filters (optional) if you like. Verified programmes only, scored against your own record, with the reason shown on each.
  2. If a tight filter returns too few, the search widens within what is already verified and says what it widened.
  3. A programme you have already applied to is never shown again: it is in your Main Pipeline.
  4. Programmes closing within 7 days are shown last, only when no other good match has time left, because a reference letter or an attested document can take longer than a week. Apply before each programme’s closing date: ForiForeign cannot extend a closing date and is not responsible for one that passes.

4 · Choose and pay once

Fori-Study $149, paid once8 matched programmes; you choose any 5 after you have explored all eight, never before. The local figure is shown in brackets at the day’s rate.

The packages page
One payment per package, in US dollars with your own currency beside it.
  1. Explore all your matches first, free. The package step shows the price before you pay: press Continue with Fori-Study and the payment sheet opens for that package.
  2. Pay by card on the card checkout (Safepay). Your package opens the moment the payment is confirmed.
  3. Choose which programmes to apply to. Each one becomes a case with its own Case ID, like FF-C-2026-000001.

5 · Your case: the Main Pipeline

IncludedInside the package you already have. Nothing more to buy.

The Main Pipeline of one case
One case: the next thing to do, then the two stages.
  1. Every case has one Case ID and two stages: PRE-ADMISSION (everything up to the university’s decision) and POST-ADMISSION (everything after the offer).
  2. At the top is one line: Next, with one button. Press it and you are taken straight to what is needed. That is usually all you need to do.
  3. Press a step to see its lines: what is needed, where it stands, and one button for it. Press the button to do it.
  4. Documents we prepare start at once. While they are being written they say Preparing; you do not have to do anything. When they are ready, press Check, change anything you like, and approve.
  5. Everything else about the case (what we wrote, the full checklist, the send step) is kept under More about this case.

6 · The reference letter

IncludedInside the package you already have. Nothing more to buy.

The reference letter window
After Generate: download the Word letter, then upload the signed copy.
  1. On the Reference letter line, press Prepare. Enter one, two or three referees: name, e-mail, institution, department, designation, location, phone (if you like), how they know you and for how long.
  2. Press Generate Reference Letter, then Download Word. There is one Word letter for each referee: Reference_Letter_Referee_01.docx, and so on.
  3. Take the letter to your referee. They read it, change anything they want, sign it and stamp it. ForiForeign never signs, stamps or approves anything for a referee.
  4. Press Upload Signed Reference Letter and upload the signed copy, a clear PDF if you can. It is kept exactly as uploaded, and the line turns to Signed & uploaded.
  5. A general letter serves your other cases too: another case offers Use Existing Reference, and your referee is not asked again. A letter written for one named university needs a new signature for another.

7 · Applying and the decision

IncludedInside the package you already have. Nothing more to buy.

Mail
Every reply lands in Mail and is filed against its case.
  1. The application fee, if the programme has one, is its own line: mark it paid and upload the receipt, or tick that you paid on the university’s own system.
  2. Nothing is sent until you approve it. Applications go from your ForiForeign address, and every reply lands in Mail and moves your case on.
  3. When the university decides, press Record decision on the University decision line if it was not read from your mail automatically.

8 · After the offer: POST-ADMISSION

IncludedInside the package you already have. Nothing more to buy.

  1. The same Case ID carries on. Press Mark accepted when you accept the offer; each of its conditions is its own line.
  2. Add what the offer letter asks for with Add what the university asks for and each fee with Add a fee from the offer letter: admission fee, enrolment fee, tuition deposit, each on its own line, each with Pay / upload receipt.
  3. Then the visa, inside the same case: visa documents (a passport already in your vault shows as Available), the visa fee, the application and the decision.

9 · Visa processing, included: offer letter to visa decision

Included in Fori-StudyFrom an eligible offer, admission or invitation to the visa decision, done with you from your own laptop. No purchase, no upsell: the offer simply opens this stage of your case.

  1. Documents: the exact visa checklist for your destination, each requirement explained, the documents organised in order, including attestation or apostille and translation where needed.
  2. Online registration and forms: your registration on the official portal and the required forms, completed with you and reviewed before anything is submitted; you review and submit yourself.
  3. University fee: the university’s own payment page, the amount and the deadline; you pay the university directly, and your receipt is recorded on your case.
  4. Appointment and submission: where to book, when, what to carry; your application prepared for submission, and each subsequent requirement explained as it comes.
  5. Interview preparation: from the programme and from your own record, not from a generic list. Status tracked to the decision. ForiForeign does not grant visas and does not guarantee approval; the visa authority decides.

10 · Your data and your money

FreeExporting your data and deleting your account are free, and always will be.

  1. Export everything at any time. Deleting your account removes your file.
  2. ForiForeign never takes a recruitment fee from an applicant, never charges for a visa or a permit, and never presents a paid placement as a match.

Questions

When exactly do I have to pay?

Only when you decide to apply. You create the account, upload your CV, search, and explore your matches (8 in the study lane, 10 in the work lane), all built from your own CV, each scored, each with its intelligence summary and your CV analysis, for free. Exploring them costs nothing. Payment is asked for only when you unlock the ones you want, never before.

What do the packages cost?

Exploring your matches is free in both lanes. In the study lane there is one package, Fori-Study: $149, paid once, which unlocks any 5 of your 8, includes complete visa application processing after an eligible offer, and includes one Second Chance (8 new matches, choose any 5, 5 more applications) if the first cycle brings no eligible offer. In the work lane there is one package, Remotely: $29, paid once, which unlocks the 3 best-matched roles of your search, and processes every one of them; nothing is carried to a later search. In the study lane you pick which ones, in any order, and once unlocked a choice cannot be swapped.

What is one credit?

One complete application: written, checked against that position’s own requirements, sent from your ForiForeign address once you approve it, and tracked until it is answered.

What happens to credits I do not use?

In the study lane they stay on your account for six months and can be spent on any later search in that lane. They are not lost. Remotely is different: it unlocks the 3 best-matched roles of the search you bought it for, so there is nothing left over and nothing is carried to a later search.

If I search again, will I see the same positions?

No. Anything you have already applied to is left out of a new search and counted, so the list stays full rather than quietly getting shorter. Your existing cases are in Applications.

Do I have to buy anything for the visa?

There is nothing to buy. Complete visa application processing is part of Fori-Study: once you hold an eligible offer, admission or invitation, that stage of your case opens by itself. It covers the visa document checklist, online registration and forms, the official portal, appointment and submission guidance, and interview preparation, done with you from your own laptop, to the visa decision. You pay the university and the visa fees directly; ForiForeign never collects them and does not grant or guarantee visas. In the remote-work lane there is no visa, so there is nothing to open.

What is the Second Chance?

It is included in Fori-Study, once. If your first five applications do not result in an eligible offer during that admission cycle, we review the outcomes, identify relevant gaps where we reasonably can, and give you 8 new matched programmes for the next eligible cycle. You choose any 5 and five more applications are processed with you. No additional payment. It is additional opportunities and applications, not a guarantee of admission: universities decide.

Does the remote lane help with a visa, residence or licensing?

No. WORK 4 FOREIGN REMOTELY is work that reaches you where you already live. In that lane ForiForeign arranges no work visa, no residence permit, no permanent residence, no immigration and no relocation, and obtains no professional licence, because none of it applies to somebody who is not moving.

Is there a monthly fee?

Not for applicants. You pay once for a package. The monthly plans on the pricing page are for consultancies using FF-CRM, not for you.

Which email do universities and employers see?

Your ForiForeign address, in your name. Replies land in Mail. The address is yours and has no password. It cannot be changed, because it is the address on file for every application you have sent.

How do I pay?

By card on the card checkout (Safepay), in US dollars; the payment is confirmed automatically. ForiForeign staff confirm it, usually within 30 minutes. If it cannot be confirmed, you are told and can submit the reference again.

Does the study lane cover more than the student visa?

No. The study lane helps with the student visa only: ForiForeign prepares your documents and pre-fills your online visa form, and you submit it yourself. ForiForeign does not help with work visas, permanent residence, citizenship or professional licensing.

What if I pay and nothing comes of it?

You are paying for the work of preparing and sending, not for a result. ForiForeign does not guarantee admission, employment, a visa or residence, and no honest platform can. What you get is the searching, the writing, the sending and the tracking, done properly.

Can you guarantee a visa?

No one honest can. You see an estimated chance, with the reasons behind it.

Will you write a letter for me that is not true?

No. Statements of purpose, motivation letters, research proposals and cover letters are all written for you, from what you actually have. A certificate, a reference or a result you were not given will never be produced.

Do I meet somebody in person?

No. ForiForeign guides you and does the work online, through this platform. There is no office to visit and no case manager assigned to you.

I changed my mind about the lane.

Change it from your dashboard, step 2. Nothing is lost. A package belongs to the lane it was bought for: Fori-Study to the study lane, Remotely to the work lane.

A consultant says they manage my case.

Only if you signed up on their website. ForiForeign accounts are never handed to consultancies.

What is the Main Pipeline?

Every application is one case with one Case ID. The case has two stages: PRE-ADMISSION, everything up to the university’s decision, and POST-ADMISSION, everything after an offer, the visa included. At the top of each case there is one Next line with one button.

Who writes my reference letter?

ForiForeign prepares a draft from your record and from what you tell us about your referee. Your referee is the author: they review it, change what they wish, sign it and stamp it. We never sign, stamp or approve anything for a referee.

Do I upload the same document for every application?

No. Upload it once and it is kept in your vault. Every case that needs it shows it as Available.

What does Preparing mean?

ForiForeign is writing the documents for that application. You do not need to do anything; they appear when ready, and nothing is sent until you approve.
