Visa Information

Light Fellows may need a visa to enter the countries in which they will study abroad. The steps that you need to take will depend on your nationality and the country to which you are going. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make sure that you have the proper documentation. Your program's information materials should include information on obtaining a visa.
