Here are some useful orientation tips and
information regarding formalities for students going abroad
Orientation Tips for Students Going Abroad
While going abroad you have to fulfill many formalities. As soon as you
reach your destination, officials from the immigration department will
carry out an immigration check. It involves checking your passport and
visa details for authenticity, determining the purpose and duration of
your visit followed by Customs check.
Here are some important formalities and vital essentialities that you
should keep in mind while going abroad.
- Soon after landing at the airport your luggage will be checked by
the customs officials. Truthfully declare all the terms that you are
carrying with yourself.
- Always be respectful and polite to the airport and immigration
officials.. Avoid cracking jokes or making irrelevant comments at
them.
- The first few days of your study trip in the foreign country may
make you feel weary. You may feel tired by the long distance flight
and traveling through a number of time zones. Your body clock may
take some time to accustom to the new time zone and you will
probably be sleeping and waking at the 'wrong' times. You will get
over this lack of comfort in a few days as your body gets in sync
with the physical conditions of the new place.
- Though the short-term jet lag is unavoidable, you can minimize
its effects by avoiding alcohol and other related products prior to
and during your flight and drinking plenty of other fluids.
- Set your watch to the time zone to which you are flying as soon
as you get on the plane. Try to postpone your inbuilt sleep time on
arrival by doing some exercises and try to get used to the sleep
time in the new time zone.
