Contact the Office of International Services (OIS) for information about starting the visa process. [Joanna Snyder, snyder1@iu.edu] Provide OIS with the information from Step 1 as it is vital when determining visa type.
Note: Visitors from visa waiver countries (such as those in Western Europe) may still need a visa as this is based on not only the duration of a visit but also its purpose. This step should be completed as soon as you know the visitor will be coming to IU.
