3 steps to verify a programme carrying the KPV name
5 warning signs of a non-transparent programme
If you notice any of the signs below – even if the person contacting you claims to be KPV staff – stop and verify through official channels.
Demanding a deposit or a fee to “hold a place” before there is a contract, a receipt and a clear cost schedule.
No organisation can guarantee a visa – the decision rests with the competent authorities of the host country.
Unable to name the licensed organisation, the licence number or the programme’s documents.
Personal social media accounts, unfamiliar phone numbers, requests to transfer money to a personal account.
“Today only”, “places running out” – no time given to read the contract or consult your family.
Questions about verification & costs
01How are programme costs published?
Each programme has its own cost table on its details page: item name, amount, when it is payable and whether it is refundable. KPV does not collect any payment outside the published table; every payment is covered by a contract and a receipt.
