​Passport​: A passport is an official government document that validates a traveler’s identity and country of citizenship.  Students regardless of nationality, who are interested in studying abroad MUST have a passport valid for at least 6 months after their return date in order to do so.  For U.S. citizens, information on applying for a passport is available on the U.S. Department of State website.

Visa: A visa, different from a passport, is a government document placed in the individual's passport which authorizes them to request entry into the host country for a limited duration of time for business, pleasure, study, or other. *U.S Citizens are not required to obtain a visa to enter Greece if the visit is less than 90 days. Non-U.S. citizens should contact the Study Abroad Office for more information about their specific case. *

International Students: F-1 international students attending Broward College who are interested in participating in a study abroad program should first speak with a Designated School Official (DSO) through the International Student Services Office to discuss their immigration status and any special circumstances they may need to consider prior to applying for the program.

​Health Considerations: Vaccinations: There are no required/mandatory vaccinations to travel to Greece unless recommended by a physician or specific health conditions of a participant. All participants should be up to date with all routine vaccinations.

*While Measles vaccination is not required/mandatory to travel to Greece, the CDC highly recommends most travelers get vaccinated or receive a booster. For country-specific health and immunization information visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official Website.

Physical Activity: Moderate activity. Walking tours for extended periods of time. Participants are responsible for carrying their own luggage to/from transportation vehicles when changing accommodations. Physician's Statement: All participants must submit a complete and signed physician's statement/release prior to the program start date.

Safety and Travel Considerations: The U.S Department of State offers country information pages to assist international travelers. Each country's information page contains a Travel Advisory, Alerts, and other important details specific to that country that could affect you.  Pay close attention to the entry and exit requirements, local laws and customs, health conditions, and other details to decide whether traveling to that country is right for you.

Please review Greece's country information page for country-specific information.
