Hi, I want to know the DFA's acceptance of the Educational Document for Student Visa. 1. Does DFA accepts those Educational Qualifications of an Institution that has a study center in another country and has been awarding students educational qualification without permission from the local education regulatory body? 2. Does DFA accepts apostille on the Educational Qualifications awarded by an Institute from the Country where their Study Center is located instead of the country where the Institution Main Campus is located?
