What is the process for getting a passport and do I need to apply for it before starting the study abroad process?

Yes, you need a valid passport to study abroad, but you can start your application process before having one. However, a valid passport is required for final admission and visa steps.
Apply for your passport as early as possible, since processing times can vary and delays may affect your study plans.
