Attend any orientation programmes offered by your host institution. These sessions usually explain important local procedures, support services and academic expectations.

If you need a bank account in your host country, ask your host institution what documents you need and which banks students usually use.

Banking services vary by country. Some banks may not offer student accounts or overdraft facilities. It may also take several weeks to open an account and receive your card.

You may need:

• your passport or another form of identification
• proof of your student status
• proof of your address in your host country
• your visa or residence permit, if this applies

If you do not need to receive payments in the local currency, you may decide to keep using a UK card with low or no overseas fees. Check any charges before you rely on this as your main payment method.

Consider a backup payment method

Make sure you have more than one way to access money when you arrive.

You may want to use a debit card, credit card, prepaid travel card or multi-currency account. Check fees, exchange rates, withdrawal charges and card limits before you travel.
