Our counsellors will help you create a realistic financial plan, including scholarship opportunities and part-time work options available in your chosen country. Our goal is to make international education affordable and accessible without any hidden costs. Q4. How long does the process take? The application process duration varies based on your chosen destination, program, and intake period.

Penmal Connect works proactively to minimize delays by ensuring that all your documents meet the requirements of your chosen institutions and embassy. We keep you updated at every stage so you know exactly what to expect and when to expect it. Q5. Do you help after students arrive abroad? Yes, absolutely.

We stay in touch to ensure you settle comfortably into your new environment. Our post-arrival services include airport pickup assistance, temporary or long-term accommodation guidance, and orientation support for navigating life abroad. We also connect students with local communities, university networks, and part-time job opportunities. Our goal is to make sure every student feels safe, informed, and supported as they adapt to a new culture, academic system, and lifestyle.
