6. Acceptance and placement
After signing your acceptance note for your work placement, you will be looked after by the committee of your destination country. You will receive further information from them, and they will take care of all the administration, paperwork, visa, work permit, departure, pastoral care, and other support needed. The support package can vary between different counties.
However, IAESTE UK will remain your contact point if you need any additional help.
