Yes, a migration certificate is typically required for study abroad applications. This document proves you have completed your previous studies and are eligible to move to another institution.

You need to request the migration certificate from your last attended school or university. The process usually involves filling out an application, submitting copies of your mark sheets and degree, and paying a processing fee (subject to change).

Start this process early, as issuing the certificate can take time. Some universities may also ask for your migration certificate to be attested or apostilled for international use.

If you need help with this step, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
