AK Education & Visa Consultants Pvt Ltd
Welcome to AK Education & Visa Consultants Pvt Ltd, your dedicated partner for international education and study abroad guidance from Sri Lanka.
Launched in February 2023, AK Education was previously known as AK Visa Consultants. While AK Visa Consultants continues to support clients with Visitor Visas, Work Visas, Partner/Family Visas and other non‑study visa categories, AK Education was established as a specialized education consultancy offering focused, student‑centric services for overseas academic aspirations.
Our team at AK Education & Visa Consultants has built its expertise through extensive training and practical experience. We actively participate in the UK Agent and Counsellor Training Program conducted by the British Council, as well as specialized workshops from our partner universities and foreign high commissions. This continuous training ensures our consultants are well-versed in the latest education trends, university admissions requirements, and visa procedures, allowing us to deliver reliable, up-to-date, and personalized guidance to our students.
At AK Education, we understand that choosing to study abroad is one of the most important decisions a student and family can make. With the right support and expert guidance, every student’s journey can become smoother, more successful, and filled with opportunity.
