VISA AND IMMIGRATION

Our New York City Program

Once you鈥檝e been accepted onto the Study Away program, we鈥檒l send you a 天天吃瓜 admission letter and some additional paperwork to complete, which will allow you to apply for a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa.
- While the Office of Global Education can offer lots of helpful advice, they鈥檙e not allowed to apply for your student visa on your behalf. You鈥檙e the only one that can apply for this student visa, and it鈥檚 up to you to make sure you do so in time.
- If you don鈥檛 have the right paperwork, please don鈥檛 travel! You may be asked to return home on the next available flight, which you鈥檒l have to pay for. The United States Department of State and Customs and Border Protection have final authority on issues of international study, so we won鈥檛 be able to intervene.
Our Florence, Paris, London, Hong Kong, and South Korea Programs
- You鈥檒l be responsible for making sure you鈥檝e got the correct visa for the international Study Away you鈥檝e chosen. If you鈥檝e got any questions about applying for a visa for a certain country, get in touch with the Office of Global Education at edabroad@kent.edu.
