Common questions

When should we start?

Twelve to eighteen months before the entry term is comfortable, though we often place children faster.

Do you only work with boarding schools?

No. We also place children in day schools when the family is moving to the UK.

Do you give immigration advice?

No. Panoba is not authorised to give regulated immigration advice. We handle the administration of a study visa application and work with authorised immigration advisers where advice is needed.
