Frequently asked questions
Belgian and EU passport holders require an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) to enter the USA — not a student visa for stays under 90 days. On the move advises on the process.
A minimum B1 level is recommended for New York programmes — the city environment is fast-paced and a base level makes the experience much more rewarding.
