Study Abroad with IES Abroad

Pro-Tip: Apply For Your Passport Today

Getting your passport is a crucial step for studying abroad and the reality is that COVID-19 has delayed processing times. The U.S. State Department has announced that it can take an average of up to 18 weeks—aka 4.5 months!—to process a passport. Learn more about getting your passport as soon as you can, and hop to it.

Student health & safety is our #1 priority—it always has been and always will be.
Learn more about our Health & Safety policies and read our Coronavirus Updates.

"I think it may be impossible to express just how alive seeing a new part of the world for the first time makes me feel."
