Entry rules are linked from each country’s official pages, and those pages have the final word. StudentFlow gives general information only: we don’t judge whether you will need or get a visa, and this is not legal or immigration advice. For advice on your case, speak to a licensed professional. Rules, fees and thresholds change, so every guide links to the official source. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.

Want these as a checklist with dates?

StudentFlow turns the guides into your own trip plan, with a date on every step and your travel date as the anchor.
