A valid passport is required for all international travel. It is best to apply for a passport now as processing times may vary. The UCIE is an official US Passport Center and we can help you with your photo and passport processing needs.

Some study abroad destinations will require you to obtain a visa. A visa is permission given to you by your host country to allow you to enter the country for a specific amount of time. In order to obtain country-specific visa instructions and resources, refer to your host country’s embassy web page. One way to access this information is to visit the
US Department of State’s webpage.
The UCIE is happy to guide you to possible resources about visas for studying abroad. Although, applying for the necessary visa for travel is the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements change frequently and we advise you to pay close attention to consular updates. It is your responsibility to know and address the requirements for your host study abroad destination.
