International participants in CTY programs are defined as non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S. permanent residents not already in the U.S. with an immigration status that permits participation in our program. International participants will typically need to obtain a B-1/B-2 visa or use the Visa Waiver (ESTA) program to attend CTY.
CTY does not provide immigration sponsorship and is unable to assist with the process of obtaining travel documentation. If you have questions, we recommend contacting the U.S. Consulate or working with a travel agent in your area.
Please begin working on this documentation as soon as possible.
We suggest applying early for the best selection of on-campus courses. Apply by Nov. 29, 2024 at midnight (EST) to be included in our first assignment run on Dec. 6. Families who are concerned about the time needed to apply for this documentation may wish to consider enrolling in our online programming.
