Visas - Prior to enrollment and sometimes after entering Bates, International Students need to obtain a United States visa. The visa permits entry into the United States. Students may stay in the United States beyond the visa expiration date as long as the person is enrolled as a full time student. To obtain an initial visa or a visa renewal, you will take the I-20 documents you received from Bates and your Bates letter of admission, or a letter of current enrollment from the International Student Advisor Office, to the United States Embassy or Consulate.
