FAQs and Contact

How do Visas Work?
It's important to ensure you get the right visa for your summer school stay, which can typically be a tourist visa for short stays or you may need a student visa for longer stays. Your chosen summer school provider will support you with an acceptance letter.
How Does Insurance Work?
Many providers now provide educational travel insurance within their fees, so make sure to check this at the checkout (and if you need help, contact us!). In all circumstances make sure you have your own travel insurance cover as you normally would for trips abroad.
