Pro Tip: Renew (or Apply for!) Your Passport ASAP
Passport applications and renewals are taking longer than normal these days. Save yourself from the last-minute stress by making sure you 1. Have a passport, and 2. The expiration date is at least six months after your study abroad program ends. Visit travel.state.gov to locate U.S. passport agencies in your area.
As a U.S. citizen, you may need to apply for a student visa before studying abroad for a semester or longer or interning abroad.
Determine what stamp or visa you will need to enter the UK and learn more about the UK student visa process.
Not a U.S. citizen? Consult the consulate website of your passport country and contact your IES Abroad Advisor with further questions.
