After an eligibility check, your application will be sent to your selected Expert to review to assess your application.  

If suited to the selected Expert, your application will be approved; if not, your Expert will either reject the application or suggest alternatives until both parties confirm a suitable schedule. You may be requested to select a different Expert for consideration. 

The visit will only be confirmed once both your Expert and yourself agree on the finalised dates.

  • Once approved, you may begin planning your accommodation, travel and visa arrangements where needed.
