You’ll need to prepare several key documents when applying for MBA programs in the UK or USA:

- Completed application form (university’s online portal)
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates (with certified English translations if needed)
- Standardized test scores: GMAT or GRE (some programs may offer waivers); English proficiency test scores like IELTS or TOEFL if required
- Updated resume/CV (education, work experience, achievements)
- Statement of Purpose (your motivation and goals)
- Letters of recommendation (usually 2-3 from academic/professional contacts)
- Application fee (non-refundable, university-specific)
- Passport copy (valid)
- Financial documents (proof of funds for tuition and living expenses)
- Additional documents: GMAT/GRE waiver request or portfolio/writing samples if required by the program

Requirements can vary by university and program.
