A 护照 is an internationally recognized identity document that verifies your citizenship. You must present your 护照 each time you enter or leave a country. Most countries require that your expiration date be valid for at least six months beyond your return date. Be sure to apply for your 护照 or 护照 renewal far enough in advance of your departure to ensure that you receive it on time, taking into considering both 护照 processing times and visa processing, if a visa is required for your destination (see visa information below).

签证信息

视国家而定, 节目长度, 以及程序的类型, you may be required to obtain a visa for your international experience prior to departure. A visa is a stamp or document that is usually placed in your 护照 which authorizes you to ask for entry into a country at the country’s border—usually leading to a “yes” response. Each country sets its own visa requirements, and the requirements are frequently updated and changed.

If a visa is necessary for your education abroad program, your program coordinator will likely advise you on the visa requirements and application process and provide any necessary documentation of your acceptance for the visa application. In some cases, you may need to acquire the visa on your own. The most accurate and reliable country-specific information on visa requirements for U.S. citizens can be found on the U.S. 国务院 website. If, after reviewing the entry/exit requirements, you find that you will need a visa for your education abroad program, visit the website of the embassy or 领事馆 of the country to which you will be traveling to determine what kind of visa you will need and how to apply. If you have trouble finding the information or if the information is confusing, email or call the embassy or 领事馆 for clarification.

Be sure to apply for your visa in a timely manner. Visa processing times vary depending upon the country, 领事馆, 一年中的时间, 以及所需的签证类型. If you are required to travel to the 领事馆 or embassy to obtain your visa or multiple visas are required for your program, consider using a visa processing service. Consult with your program provider for recommendations.
