Students often ask us if they need a COVID vaccine or test in order to participate in our programs abroad. Linguistic Horizons does not require either. We welcome students to participate in all of our programs without discrimination. What you do need to be aware of however, is that each country has its own entry requirements that are enforced either upon boarding your flight to your destination country or upon arrival when going through border controls.
Luckily, many countries have already completely removed their travel restrictions since the pandemic started. Other countries have lightened up their entry requirements and provide several options to be eligible for entry. Below, we will outline the rules for each of the countries where we operate internship and study abroad programs valid as of November 8th, 2022. You can also check the entry requirements as they change for any country in the world here.
