Questions
Do I need a lawyer to follow this method?
No. The method uses official government pages and written questions to the firm. For a legal or tax question about your own case, ask a qualified adviser.
Does passing the exam mean that an agent is approved?
No. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. Only the government authorises an agent, and only the official list shows it.
What if my programme has no official agent list?
Some programmes have no central agent list. Then check the lawyer or firm on the official professional register of that country.
