Do I need to be vaccinated to go on an exchange year?

Most of our host countries require you to be vaccinated against Covid19. Even if there is no requirement, we strongly recommend that you are fully vaccinated in good time before your trip. There may also be other vaccinations that your host country requires for you to enter the country, so it's important to check this in good time before your departure.

We kindly remind you that this information might change if covid get worse.
