My advice to you
• Prepare long ahead!
• Perform research in visa requirements• Inquire at the embassy right away• Possibility to involve third-party consultants (cost money!)• Look for exchange programmes (might be per calendar
year, with waiting lists)
• Look into travel insurances• I got all my money back (based on ‘visa refusal’)• Cancellation insurance for the re-scheduled flights• Travelling insurance for expenses at location

My advice to you
• But most of all:
Do not blindly trust your supervisors
The immigration officer has the final say!
