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. 
  • For questions about international travel and risk of exposure to Mpox, read the guidance on Mpox from UVA Student Health and Wellness and consult with your medical provider as appropriate.

Entry Requirement for Travel To and Transit Through the United Kingdom: Travelers from the U.S. and many other countries are 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. Apply for the ETA online or through the UK ETA app. 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.

About UVA Programs

Most UVA programs are designed, developed and directed by UVA faculty. The level of immersion on a UVA program can vary widely: from taking courses exclusively with other UVA students, to taking courses at a partner university with local or other study abroad students. While participants are predominantly from UVA, students from other colleges and universities may participate as well. UVA programs are offered primarily during the summer and January terms, though some (like UVA in Valencia programs) are available during the semester and academic year.

About UVA Partner Programs

UVA partner programs are programs administered by a partner organization and include students from a variety of US universities and colleges. UVA provides input on the academic curriculum and coordinates the application process for UVA students. Partner programs will typically include "in affiliation with" a program in the title.
