Am I applying for a passport as part of the study abroad process?

Yes, applying for a passport is an essential part of the study abroad process. You need a valid passport to apply to universities and to obtain your student visa.

It’s best to get your passport early to avoid delays in submitting your applications and visa documents. If you don’t have a passport yet, start the application soon through Passport Seva Kendra to ensure it’s ready well before your planned departure.
