Is there an official CEFR to TOEFL conversion?

Yes. The test owners publish a concordance, and this chart is transcribed from it without interpolating between rows.

Does a converted score count for a visa or a university?

No. Institutions and visa streams name the test they accept and the score they want on that test. A concordance tells you where you stand, and nothing more.

ETS does not align a 65 level to a score on this scale, so there is no published equivalent.

CEFRTOEFL iBTPublished concordance

A concordance is a statistical equivalence between two tests, not a guarantee that anyone accepts a converted score. Universities and visa streams name the test they accept and the score they want on it.
