Visas
Most students will need to apply for a student visa for the country in which they plan to study. Please refer to the country-specific handbook for more detailed information regarding the visa process. 
In some cases, students may apply for their visa either through a Middlebury group process (e.g., for Spain) or through a third-party organization. In other cases, students must apply for a visa on their own. Please consult your country-specific handbook for more information about your particular visa application process.
You will be given specific instructions on applying for your visa at a later date, though you may wish to start researching the requirements sooner. Please be aware that it is critical that you already have a valid passport that extends at least six months beyond the projected end of your stay abroad and that you apply for your visa in a timely fashion, normally at least three months prior to the start of the program.
