Travel documents

Students are responsible for getting their own passports & travel visas to attend our upcoming Global Summit events.  
Do you need a passport?  Yes!
Do you need a visa?  Maybe. 

EUROPE  Study Abroad:
  • To attend our European programs:  Students from the USA will need a passport, but do not need a visa to study abroad in our upcoming European programs.
  • Other nationalities should check with the nearest consulate website.  
  • Paperwork:  If you are traveling from a country that does need a visa to travel to a Summit program, then Summit Global Education can help by issuing some of the necessary paperwork for you to present to the nearest consulate.  These papers may include: (1) verification that you are indeed enrolled in the study abroad program, (2) that you have paid in full, and (3) that hotels have been booked on your behalf.  Before issuing these papers, Summit will need you to apply, pay the $40 application fee, and pay your $500 confirmation payment, and set up your payment plan.    If the visa is formally denied, the student may request a full refund (minus the $40 application fee). To request this refund, please email director @ SummitGlobalEducation.com  and include digital (scanned) copies of the rejection letters.  Please see the cancellation policy and the FAQ section for more details...

Do you need HELP getting your Visa? (or passport)?

If you need help getting a Visa:
  • The best way to get your visa is to go personally to the nearest consulate office and drop off the visa packet yourself.  This way, if any documents are missing, you will find out right away, thus allowing you the opportunity to make adjustments on the spot (saving you time and money).  You may ask a friend or family member to pick up your documents (as long as they have the right identification to do so).  
  • If you are not able to go personally to the consulate office, there are visa-agencies ready and willing to help.
  • Examples:
  • TraVisa
  • ItsEasyVisa
  • VisaCentral
  • CIBT Visas
  • Google search or ask your Travel Agency!
