BUNAC was overall an amazing program to assist me in my UK internship visa process. I don't think I would've been able to complete the visa applications and receive approval if it weren't for BUNAC's help and fast processing times. They check in on you and keep track of your internship pace which I appreciate, and always there for any questions. Customer service was great and fast as well. Although it is on the pricier side, you are in the end paying for the efficiency, convenience and assistance they provide at the highest-quality.

I found the BUNAC Working Holiday in Canada Program through a recommendation from a family member, and I couldn't be more pleased with the process so far! Like many looking to travel on a Working Holiday Visa, I had lots of questions about the best way to go about securing a seasonal job, accommodation, and all the necessary paperwork. I emailed the BUNAC team and was helped by the wonderful Catriona, who was quick to answer all of my queries and quell any worries I had. I'm so thankful to have had someone knowledgeable to turn to through each step of my journey so far! A huge thank you to the BUNAC team and Catriona!

This process was made incredibly simple via Bunac, everything I needed to do was clear and understandable and the customer service was also useful anytime that I reached out. HOWEVER, the cost of this service is incredibly expensive to the point that I question whether or not (from a business perspective) bunac is taking advantage of persons in a similar situation to mine. I am a student who was looking for work abroad for two months during the summer. Looking back on my experience, this sort of service would be a bargain if I were working abroad for at least 6 months instead of two months. So, minus 1 star because of the high price, which is stacked on top of the already expensive visa application cost, but 4 for a reliable yet easy to navigate process.

They were highly efficient with the visa process, making it much easier than the standard government route. It is a little pricy but for the service, I think it is worth it if you don't need rush processing. They were also very professional throughout the study abroad program, ensuring the students were in the right places and safe.

BUNAC was very helpful in the process of obtaining the relevant items for an internship we were setting up recently. There were clear steps and guidelines and support offered along the way which was reassuring for the intern and everyone else involved. Thank you to the advisers and will use the service again.

BUNAC made my dream of living abroad possible at a reasonable price, but it certainly had its kinks. For the most part staff was helpful although at various stages it gets harder and harder to reach people to answer your questions, and I often got referred back and forth by people. Overall straightforward process, but don't expect your hand to be held. If you are using BUNAC's Job Hub, be weary of what companies you are interviewing for and do your research before committing to work somewhere. I did a couple of interviews with people who actually made me question if this program was legit, LOL. The company I chose and internship overall was fine, it was just abundantly clear that their motive was to get free/cheap labor through this program and not to "teach me valuable experience for the workforce and make memories that will last a lifetime." Yeah no. I really loved living in the UK and experiencing working life in London, so overall my experience was about a 7. I would and have recommended BUNAC to people, I just think it is important to note these details!

I had wonderful experience dealing with BUNAC in securing a Young Professional RO visa. A special mention to Hannah who was absolutely fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Because of Hannah's knowledge, communication and support the process was super-efficient and seamless. Thank you Hannah & BUNAC!

During the VISA application process, I somehow went off the tracks BUNAC set for me (despite noticing it early on and being very carefull to follow their instructions). It resulting in me paying myself my ~2000€ visa when my company should have had the opportunity to pay it, and paying additional fee I should have avoided (IHS). I understand that this probably first resulted from a mistake on my side, but it also means BUNAC instructions aren't suffiently clear to help foreign people go through the visa application process without problem.
