Depending on the destination, travelling abroad for academic studies or research may require a specific visa and the process for this may require specific documents, interviews and screening that may take up to 3-4 months. We recommend students contact the planned institution as early as possible to confirm institution deadlines, etc., as well. If you are considering going abroad for studies or research, please note that students are individually responsible for their study abroad planning, arrangements, etc., including investigating what is necessary for entering and staying in the country of your destination, accommodations, funding, etc.
