Understand the documents before you begin.

The original Requirements page, preserved from December 2021, identified four documents: a bank letter, a clear passport photo, an original high-school diploma and an affidavit of sponsorship. The original page also included a historical USD 23,000 bank-letter threshold. This amount is archival and must not be treated as a current admission or visa requirement. Always confirm requirements with the relevant school and official authority.
