Visa Requirements

Whether you are planning on studying for a week, a month or a year, many countries require that you have a visa to qualify for entry. Most programs that are three months or less allow you to enter as a tourist, however, every country's requirements are a little different.

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the necessary travel documents.  Citizens of the US should check the following website to determing exactly what documents and visas (if any) are required for travel to the host country of your program: http://travel.state.gov/.  Citizens of Canada should visit: http://www.voyage.gc.ca/consular_home-en.asp.

For important information about passports please visit our Travel Info page.

Visa requirements change on a regular basis and the length of time it takes to process applications varies so we recommend that you do not make any travel arrangements prior to determining that you qualify for the required visa and that there is enough time for your application to be processed.
