8th April 2025: Starting from the 10th of this month, a new policy will require all students and teachers to meet US visa entry requirements for access to educational programs in schools. This measure could involve the introduction of specific visa checks for those participating in U.S.-related academic exchanges, educational tours, or teaching initiatives that involve U.S. institutions.
The policy aims to streamline the process for international collaborations and ensure that those engaging in U.S.-sponsored programs or exchanges are compliant with visa regulations. While the details of the specific requirements are yet to be fully disclosed, this move is expected to impact various educational exchanges and programs that promote global learning opportunities.
Educational authorities have emphasized that these changes are part of a broader effort to maintain secure and regulated access for students and faculty involved in U.S.-connected academic activities. Schools will be working closely with the necessary government bodies to ensure a smooth implementation of this new requirement.
As the policy takes effect, students and teachers planning to participate in U.S.-affiliated programs should prepare for potential visa-related procedures and make the necessary arrangements to avoid any disruptions in their academic activities.
