Visa & Immigration

What type of visa do participants need?   
Most participants attend on F-1 student visas or B1/B2 visitor visas, depending on the nature and duration of the program. Our team will provide guidance on the appropriate visa type for your program.

Does UCSB provide visa support documents?   
Yes, our international office will provide the necessary documents (I-20 for F-1 visas) to support your participants' visa applications once the program is confirmed.

How early should participants apply for visas?   
We recommend applying for visas at least 3-4 months before the program start date to allow enough time for processing.
