• To consult respective Consulates or Commissions of the countries concerned and non-profit-making organisations, with regard to the standing of the institutions in which you wish to study before making application for admission;
• To find out whether you will be at liberty to move to another institution in the same country should you so wish, and in what circumstances any fees paid would be refundable; and
• To note that the only organisations authorised to provide immigration facilities for entry to countries outside Hong Kong are the respective immigration services or Consulates in Hong Kong.
