Passports & Visas
One of the most frequently asked questions from students planning to study abroad is regarding passports and visas. Any international trip requires a proper passport. Passports must be valid for up to six months after the return date of your trip. Passports can be renewed if expired or simply purchased and processed prior to leaving. Typically passports take 4-6 weeks to process, but expedited services are available if students need it ASAP.
Student visas are generally necessary when students study abroad, though this depends on the country they are traveling to as well as how long they plan to stay. So, for more information about your specific trip and visa needs please contact your study abroad program or the U.S. Embassy.
