Hundreds of study-abroad consultancies operate in Nepal. HOA focuses exclusively on UK admissions — giving our counsellors specialist depth that multi-destination agents cannot match.
Every service — profile assessment, SOP editing, applications, scholarship negotiation, visa file preparation, pre-departure briefing — carries zero cost. UK partner universities pay HOA directly. Students pay nothing, ever.
HOA counsellors work exclusively on UK admissions. This produces specialist knowledge of CAS processes, UKVI RAG compliance, MOI routes, and scholarship timelines that generalist multi-destination agents cannot match.
HOA actively negotiates Chevening, GREAT Nepal (£10,000), Commonwealth, and automatic university merit awards on every application. HOA has mentored 50+ Chevening scholars — a figure documented since 2016.
HOA\’s visa file preparation is comprehensive and precise. We know exactly what UKVI expects from Nepali applicants: bank balance format, NOC documentation, TB test timing, and CAS alignment from a Green-band institution.
The UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF) is the standard set by UK universities and the British Council for overseas agents. HOA\’s counsellors hold British Council certification, and HOA operates under and is compliant with the UK Agent Quality Framework. This means UK universities trust HOA\’s student assessments, producing faster decisions and better scholarship offers. HOA is listed in the British Council's certified agents database.
Offices in Putalisadak 28, Kathmandu (Bagmati Province) and Trade Mall Chipledhunga, Pokhara (Gandaki Province). HOA serves all 7 Nepal provinces with free walk-in and online consultations.
Most HOA students go from first consultation to UK visa approval in under 3 months. Every step is 100% free with no hidden charges.
Walk in to Kathmandu (Putalisadak 28) or Pokhara (Trade Mall Chipledhunga), or WhatsApp +977-9802373936. HOA evaluates grades, English evidence, budget, and UK career goals to identify your ideal university match.
Day 1–2HOA shortlists from 153 UKVI Green-band partner universities, drafts your Statement of Purpose, and compiles your academic portfolio for applications.
Week 1–2HOA submits applications and actively negotiates scholarship offers. Over £2M+ in scholarships secured for Nepali students since 2016 (internal tracking data).
Week 2–4Complete visa file: 28-day bank balance guidance (Appendix Student, gov.uk/student-visa, 2026), NOC support, TB test referral, VFS booking. 99% first-attempt approval rate.
Week 6–10Briefing: NHS registration, NI number, bank account, 20-hr/wk work rights at £12.71/hr (UK Low Pay Commission, April 2026), and UK alumni network introduction.
Week 10–12In 2026, the single biggest risk for Nepali students is applying to a UK university without knowing its UKVI RAG band. I have spent nine years watching families invest NPR 40–50 lakhs in a UK journey — only to have it stall because their university is in the Amber band and cannot issue a CAS letter. HOA built its entire model around one principle: we will only place students at Green-band institutions. That is why our visa success rate is 99%. HOA is among fewer than 5% of Nepal consultancies to hold both UKVI certification and AQF registration simultaneously. And it is why we have never charged a student a single rupee. When the university knows your consultant has a 99% visa record, they move faster, offer more scholarships, and trust the file. The student benefits from our reputation, not just our advice.

I visited five consultancies on Putalisadak in a single afternoon. Every one quoted me a fee between NPR 40,000 and NPR 80,000 just to start. Then I walked into HOA. They sat with me for ninety minutes, assessed my TU transcript, confirmed I could use a MOI letter instead of IELTS, and shortlisted three Green-band universities. Within two consultations they had identified a 50% scholarship at University of Lincoln. My UK student visa was approved on the first attempt. HOA never charged me a rupee. Not one.
Verified experiences from students HOA has placed in UK universities. 4.9/5 from 490+ Google reviews.
“HOA guided me to University of Greenwich with a 40% scholarship and my UK visa was approved on the first attempt. The entire service was completely free — no hidden charges anywhere. I am now in London on the Graduate Route Visa, earning £12.71/hr.”
“I applied without IELTS using my TU MOI letter — HOA guided me through every document. Visa approved first attempt. Two years on I am planning my Graduate Route to Skilled Worker Visa with HOA’s help. Still no charge.”
“I was preparing for Chevening for two years without a mentor. HOA’s team reviewed all four essays and ran three mock interviews. I was selected. HOA has produced 50+ Chevening scholars and never once charged a fee.”
Three documented placements from HOA’s 2025–2026 placement cycle with complete file details (internal tracking data).
Two critical 2026 policy changes directly affecting Nepal students: the new university compliance ratings and which universities accept MOI letters instead of IELTS.
Nepal is the 5th largest UK student source country (20,600+ student visas issued in 2024, representing a 63% year-on-year increase, per UK Home Office immigration statistics, 2024). Choosing an Amber or Red-band university can delay a UK study journey by 6–12 months. HOA monitors all 153 partner universities and only shortlists Green-band institutions.

Rahul and the HOA team operate under both UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF) and British Council certification — the combination that gives UK admissions teams full confidence in HOA’s student assessments.

The United Kingdom is Nepal’s most popular study abroad destination. A UK Bachelor’s degree takes just 3 years (versus 4 in the US or Australia), making it more cost-efficient per year of study. The UK is home to 4 of the world’s top 10 universities (Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London, UCL), and over 40 UK universities feature in the global QS top 200. For Nepali students, the total cost of a 1-year Master’s in the UK ranges from NPR 55–82 lakhs all-in (tuition, living costs, and visa) at NPR 195/£1 — with Sheffield and Liverpool among the most affordable destinations.
The UK Student Visa (as governed by Appendix Student of the UK Immigration Rules) allows up to 20 hours of part-time work per week during term time and full-time work during vacations, enabling students to offset living costs. The mandatory 28-day bank balance is £10,539 for universities outside London (NPR ≈ 20.5 lakhs) and £13,761 for London (NPR ≈ 26.8 lakhs), per UK Home Office guidance. House of Admissions prepares complete visa files with a 99% approval rate. Students choosing universities in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and Sheffield pay NPR 13–20 lakhs per year in living costs, compared to NPR 25+ lakhs in London.
Nepali graduates who studied in English at Tribhuvan University, Pokhara University, Kathmandu University, or Purbanchal University can apply to 25+ UK universities via Medium of Instruction (MOI) letters instead of IELTS — saving NPR 25,000+ in examination fees and up to 3 months of preparation time. HOA provides free MOI eligibility checks at both offices. After graduation, the Graduate Route Visa grants 2 years of unrestricted work rights with no job offer or sponsor required, per UK Home Office policy (gov.uk/graduate-visa). A switch to the Skilled Worker Visa at the £38,700 salary threshold leads to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years of qualifying UK residence.
House of Admissions has secured £2M+ in scholarships for Nepali students since 2016, including 50+ Chevening placements (fully funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office), GREAT Scholarships (£10,000 partial award), Commonwealth Scholarships (fully funded), and university merit awards of £2,000–£10,000+. Every HOA student receives personalised scholarship matching as part of the free service. Institutions and businesses wishing to provide HOA’s UK guidance to their student communities are welcome to enquire about a free partnership arrangement. Two offices serve all of Nepal: HOA Kathmandu at Putalisadak (main office), and HOA Pokhara at Trade Mall, Chipledhunga. Book a free consultation at either office →
