Comparing consultancies for Australia in Kathmandu means weighing things that change fast. Australia received 14,372 No Objection Certificates in FY 2080/81, against 33,991 the year before, making it the number 3 destination for Nepali students. Australia fell from first place to third in a single year. In January 2026 it moved Nepal to Assessment Level 3, its high-risk banding under the Simplified Student Visa Framework, and refusal rates for Nepali higher-education applicants ran at roughly 65 to 69 per cent.
Any consultancy still advertising a 98 per cent visa success rate for Australia is describing a market that no longer exists, and visa guarantees are barred under the 2026 regulations.
About these listings. Addresses and phone numbers are compiled from public sources — mostly the consultancies’ own websites, and the source is named on every card. We have not yet checked these firms against the Ministry of Education licence register, so no listing here should be read as verified or endorsed. Roughly 900 of about 5,000 consultancies in Kathmandu Valley hold a permit, so that check matters. Verify a licence yourself, or tell us if a detail is wrong.
Listings are ordered alphabetically. We do not rank them, because ranking without verified licences, fees and reviews would be a guess dressed up as a recommendation.
We rank on facts anyone can check, which means a consultancy cannot buy a better position. Advertising buys a labelled placement and nothing else.
Disclosure. Some listings are sponsored. Sponsored listings carry a visible label, never appear above the top-ranked organic result, and sponsorship never changes a review score or an algorithmic position.
The right provider depends on your qualification and your target institution. What we can tell you is which firms are licensed, which publish their fees, and which have verified reviews for Australia specifically. We publish a listing only once we have checked it against the Ministry register.
