Special documents
Upon Arrival documents
The standard documents are the basic documents that the students are asking for and the special documents are less important, as only some Local Committees ask for them. So it's mandatory to upload the standard documents, but not the special ones. (Students do it when asked for by the LEO/NEO.)
The upon arrival documents are hard copies documents that the students are requested to take with them in the host country.”

Special Remarks

Postponements are very difficult to grant and will only be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please plan to send students within the exchange year designated by the contract.


Requests to be placed with another student will be taken into consideration, but are very difficult to accommodate due to capacity. Please do not expect to be placed together.
