Refinements:

After generating your response, you may need to ask questions and refine the response to ensure more accurate and relevant results. Refining helps the AI better understand your specific needs, leading to more practical and tailored outputs. Here’s how you can refine the guide:

Example: “Can you provide more detailed guidance on applying tax treaty benefits for students from [home country]?”

• Add Currency Exchange Risk Management Tips: Request advice for students on handling fluctuating exchange rates.
Example: “Can you include tips on managing currency fluctuations when receiving wages in foreign currencies?”

• Include Scenarios for Non-Compliance: Ask the AI to develop scenarios showing the consequences of exceeding work hour limits.
Example: “Can you add a scenario describing what happens if a student works beyond the hours allowed by their visa?”

• Provide Steps for Pre-Departure Financial Planning: Add advice for students on preparing for financial obligations before departure.
Example: “Can you provide a checklist of financial tasks, such as paying visa fees and setting up a tax account?”
