Is falsifying salary information to obtain a necessary residency permit for completing studies in a foreign country considered deception?

The fundamental principle is that a Muslim does not lie or forge unless compelled to do so, or if there is a legitimate benefit in lying, such as reconciling disputes. A Muslim's residence or study in a non-Islamic country is not considered a necessity that permits lying, as the benefit can be achieved through other means that do not involve lying. Therefore, there is no religious dispensation for a Muslim to forge or lie for this purpose.
