Do students need a passport to study abroad?
Yes. U.S. citizens need a U.S. passport, and Permanent Residents and international students going abroad need the passport of their country of citizenship. Having a passport makes it easier to transact financial matters abroad, plus it is the best proof of identity. Any one needing to obtain a student visa must have a passport. Passports need to be valid for at least 6 months following the end of your proposed program.
