Student International Travel Considerations

U.S. Department of State: Revised Worldwide Caution.

Student University Related Travel to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza is restricted until further notice.

New Entry Requirement for Travel To and Transit Through the United Kingdom:

Starting January 8, 2025, visitors from the U.S. and many other countries will be required to have a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter or transit through the UK. The ETA costs £10 and is valid for two years or until the passport used to obtain the ETA expires. Travelers from the US and many other countries can begin to apply for the ETA online or through the UK ETA app starting November 27, 2024. While approvals are predicted to be within three days or faster, students are advised to apply at least three weeks in advance of planned travel in case of processing delays. To learn more, visit the links above or watch videos on what an ETA is and how to apply for a UK ETA.

Thanks to the generous support of the Vice-Provost for Global Affairs and under the aegis of the ISO, UVA Global Internships aims to support undergraduate students participating in specific UVA-led applied learning programs. Grants will be awarded based on several criteria, including demonstrated financial need, thoughtfulness of application, and academic record. Award amounts will vary up to $3,000, as the committee will seek to offer grants to as many worthy students as possible.
