Passports

In preparation for your study abroad journey, it is important to start by making sure that you currently hold a valid passport with an expiration date beyond the conclusion of your academic program. In the event that you do not presently possess a valid passport, it is strongly advised to apply for a passport immediately upon deciding to partake in a study abroad program. This is extremely important due to the fact that passport applications may range from several weeks to several months. Therefore, applying for or renewing your passport early is essential to prevent any potential delays in your academic endeavors abroad. As you are working towards deciding your study abroad location and learning about the different visa requirements, please take a look at these commonly asked visa-related questions. The document has been constructed to give you a comprehensive understanding of various procedures and prerequisites that may be encountered while pursuing your visa.

Visas

Different study-abroad destinations may have other visa prerequisites. A proactive approach to these requirements is strongly advocated, considering the possibility of the visa process being lengthy at times. It is advised to seek clarification on visa requirements directly from your designated Global Experience Advisor, who can provide appropriate guidance based on your intended study location. Students are responsible for the timely application and acquisition of their visas, as Northeastern and the Global Experience Office are not involved in processing visa applications. This document aims to enhance your understanding and ability to apply for your visa independently. Once you have been admitted to a study abroad program, you will need to refer to the appropriate consulate website for all the specific requirements and procedures of your visa type.
