Charge your students upfront is the answer, if not in full at least enough per student to give you a buffer against a couple of them being denied entry. | |
| Aug 21 at 21:06 | comment | added | user1721135 | @GiacomoCatenazzi if I knew the risk I would self insure as you suggest. But these things just keep changing all the time. Not only the laws but also how closely they are followed, how strict .etc. | |
| Aug 21 at 21:04 | comment | added | user1721135 | @Traveller my role is an organizer of courses for foreigners, who want to come to EU to get certain certifications. So Im not sure what that makes me, something like an agency. Since these courses need a translator and are only done for my students, I am expected to pay upfront with no backsies. | |

You should ask insurances (or just self-insurance: calculate the risk and a premium, and consider it part of the price of service). I would not take personal responsibility for free, for gain of other people. | |

| Aug 20 at 22:04 | comment | added | Traveller | I’m unclear what your role in this scenario is. An agent organising visas? A business bringing groups of students on study courses? Both? The risk of denial of entry sits with the applicant, why would you take on that risk yourself? In any event I don’t think this type of risk is covered by travel insurance. Get the students to pay you upfront, then you can pay the school. | |
| Aug 20 at 20:50 | comment | added | Peter M | @njzk2 Having a visa does not entitle you to enter a country. Technically it is up to whoever is at the border crossing to accept or reject your entry. As an example, if you show up at a boarder with an already granted tourist visa, but you are carrying stuff that makes it look like you are looking for work, you will be rejected. It seems like the OP is worried about the chance (albeit very small) that the students entry will be rejected for some reason out of their control. | |
