Visa Requirements

This page contains a short list of embassy websites for students to utilize when applying for their student visa. Before applying for a visa, students should take the following into consideration:

• Most countries do require a student visa. The length of study, as well as the course of study, and what a student will be participating in (volunteer activities, internships, research, etc.) will factor into the visa process.
• As each student has their own itinerary and course schedule, it is the student's own responsibility to make sure they apply for and receive the correct visa for their time abroad.
• Visa requirements may change at any time. Students should continually check the embassy's websites for current information regarding recent visa policy changes.
• Information provided on the sites below may be applicable only for United States passport holders. Make sure to verify the needs for your particular country of citizenship.
• If a letter of support verifying payment and ensuring that the student will return to the U.S. to complete their degree is needed, please complete a visa letter request form.
