Visa filings without the panic
We build your document checklist, check bank statements against each country's rules and rehearse the visa interview with former consular staff.
Study abroad advising — Boston, Massachusetts
Choose the country, then the course, then the visa.
Passport Lane Advisors helps American and international students apply to universities in the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and Japan. Three former admissions officers and a visa specialist work with each family from shortlist to arrival, and we are paid by you, never by a university.
What advising covers
A place to live before you land
Dorm applications, vetted private rooms and a landlord checklist for every city we place students in, with deposits explained in plain English.
A shortlist of universities that fit
We compare course content, entry requirements and graduate outcomes at sixty partner universities, then narrow to six that suit your grades and budget.
Alumni who answer your questions
Every client is introduced to two former students in their destination city, usually over a video call before the deposit is paid.

Students who made the move
“I wanted engineering in Germany but did not speak German. Passport Lane found English-taught programmes I had never heard of and we got into two.”
“My visa interview was the thing I feared. We rehearsed three times and the real one took eleven minutes.”
Common questions
When should we start?
Twelve to eighteen months before the intake. UK deadlines come earliest; Canadian and Dutch deadlines are more forgiving.
Do you guarantee admission?
No adviser can. We guarantee that your applications are complete, on time and matched to universities where your grades are competitive.
Do you help with scholarships?
Yes. We maintain a calendar of 140 scholarships and help you draft the applications for those you qualify for.
