Visas:

A visa is usually an entry stamp placed in your passport. This allows you entry into a foreign country. A visa is issued by the country's government prior to arrival. Visa requirements vary from country to country depending on the length of time and purpose of your stay. You will need to contact the nearest consulate for the country you will be visiting and ask about the visa requirements. Please check with your SASE Advisor to inquire about whether your program requires a student visa.

Health:

All students participating in a UA study abroad program must complete our Health Information Form, included in our application materials. This form will take you through all of the required steps, outlined below, that will help you protect your health while you're abroad:

Educate yourself about current health issues where you will be going and regarding available medical services. Please search for information on the country(ies) you will be traveling to using the following websites. As part of the Health Information Form, you will be required to consult with the nurse in UA's Travel Clinic:

Make an appointment with your primary care physician and/or mental health practitioner to review the Health Information Form and discuss any health needs and services you will require abroad.
Review your current medical insurance coverage.
Make an appointment with the Campus Health Service Travel Clinic to consult on the need for medications and immunizations that may be necessary based on the possible health risks associated with your destination.
Keep a copy of the Health Information Form to take abroad to give to your Resident Director or homestay provider so that they will have this information in the case of an emergency.
If you are a student with a disability requesting accommodations for your Study Abroad/Exchange experience you will need to register with the sponsoring institution's disability resources. If you are attending a UA sponsored program please contact Disability Resources at (520) 621-3268, uadrc@email.arizona.edu.
