Dreaming of studying abroad is always fun as it is not limited to studies but much more than that. Students live independently, manage their expenses, and obviously save for their favorite travel spots. The feeling is a bit like butterflies in the stomach as one does not know what adventures are coming for them. Here we have covered the major area of study abroad, which is the pre-departure checklist.
This is the most time consuming area where students get confused and end up messing up their journey. You don’t need to scatter your web search with different FAQS as we have covered everything in this blog.
Here is the pre-departure list that you need to consider before heading for your education journey.
- Book your flights
Know when and where to travel with us. We book your flights at cheaper rates so that you can travel more affordably. Visawebs team help with this facility as soon as students receive their study visa for a specific country. We ensure that students reach safely at their desired locations without any sign of worry.
We have a huge network of students who are located worldwide that help you to guide in a more detailed way. We connect you through them in the first place where you can ask them personal queries.
- Get your medical Insurance
This comes in the priority lists of every travel journey. Students or individuals need to get travel insurance before they begin their journey overseas. Visawebs team helps students to get their medical insurance done so that they do not need to worry about their health in a new country.
Here is the list of things that you need to carry for study abroad:
- Full body check-up – as we know that medical care is expensive in almost all parts of the country, especially in countries like the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, etc. Students need to get their full body check up done before they head to foreign countries. It might cost you a fortune in getting this check-up done in a new country.
- Immunization Certificate – After covid, all countries have ruled out a strict immunization policy where students and individuals need to prove their vaccinations. In almost all parts of the country, the vaccine certificate has become mandatory to show. There is usually a list of required vaccinations for each university, so check that out and begin early.
- Medical Insurance – Getting your insurance done from your home country is much more affordable than taking insurance from another country. It is the basic requirement from international students in foreign universities which should be taken care of.
- Medicines – Not only is medical treatment expensive in foreign countries but medicines are expensive too. You need to carry some basic medicines with long expiry dates that can help you when in trouble. Here is the list of some basic medicines you need to carry.
- Indigestion, Gastric Problems – Gelucil, Zinetac
- Cold, Fever – Crocin
- Body Pain – Crocin
