Passport Make sure that your passport is valid for the duration of your stay abroad and six months after your return.

If you’re required to have valid identification while at your destination, your passport will work for this. Before you leave, make a copy of it to bring along to your destination and one to leave at home – this will come in handy if your passport gets lost.

Visa We’ll provide the instructions if you need to apply for a visa prior to departure. You’re responsible for your visa application, so be sure to start applying in time and pay all fees required for the application process. You can always get in touch with your local EF office for more information regarding the visa you need to travel abroad.

Travel protection It is mandatory to be insured during your language course. Erika has been the exclusive insurance provider to EF customers for 20 years. Our EF staff are familiar with this insurance company and know what to do and where to call in case of an emergency. They also have claim forms at hand to help students with minor issues.

Flights Your local EF office can help with arranging your flights. Our travel services ensure competitive prices and flexible tickets – which means you can rebook your flight. Once your flight booking is completed, enter your details in EF Campus Connect, so the school staff and your homestay hosts know when to expect you and can arrange your transfer from the airport. If you have booked an EF Group travel your flight details will automatically appear here when they are confirmed.

Transfers Your local EF office can help with arranging transport to and from your destination's airport – which you can reserve over the phone or on EF Campus Connect. Students who choose to use our transfer service will be met at the airport by an EF Representative and driven to their town. There they will either continue straight to their accommodation or get picked up by their Host family. Please keep in mind that we have many students arriving at the same time, so you may have to wait a little while for all students to arrive.
