International Applicants

Programs in the United States (HBS campus)

Most participants who are not U.S. citizens or residents will need a non-immigrant visa to attend our programs in the United States. You should request the 90-day B-1/B-2 Visa rather than the F-1 Student Visa to attend our Executive Education programs, as program participants are not considered full-time enrolled students at Harvard University, and none of our programs require stays longer than 90 days. If you are admitted to a program, the admission letter you receive should be sufficient to obtain a visa for entry into the United States.

Canadian citizens and citizens from Visa Waiver Program countries may come to the United States without a visa if they meet certain requirements. For more information about visa and passport requirements, visit the U.S. Department of State website.

Programs in India

All foreign nationals entering India are required to possess a valid international travel document in the form of a national passport with a valid visa obtained from an Indian Mission or Post abroad. The Indian visa is issued under the Government of India's Foreigners Act. For more information about visa and passport requirements, visit https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/.

Programs in Africa, China, and the Middle East

Please check with your local consulate for visa requirements.
