Visa Information
Passport requirements
Most of our clients do not require a visa to travel to their language school destination. In case that you should require a visa to attend your language course, the school will be happy to provide any document that you may require for the visa application process after the booking. For any further visa-related questions you should contact the embassy of the destination country directly. Generally, the embassy or consulate provides clear instructions on how to apply for a visa yourself without extra costs. In most countries, however, there are specialized companies that offer paid assistance throughout the visa process e.g. globalvisas.com. Please understand that we do not offer direct visa assistance and you need to contact the embassy/consulate directly for questions.
