Flights
BUNAC’s preferred travel agent is STA travel and they will be able to help you book your flights to and from America. We discuss travel plans with all volunteers and encourage you to travel on the same flights where practical.
Alternatively, if you’d like to arrange completely independent travel then you’re more than welcome to as long as you arrive in the US for the project start date.
Visa
Most participants will travel on the US Visa Waiver Programme, which allows unpaid voluntary project work for stays of no more than 90 days. You can check if you are eligible for this programme here.
If you’d like to stay in America for a longer period you will need to apply for a tourist visa. Full information will be provided by BUNAC on acceptance to the programme.
When should I apply?
The latest date we can consider your application is usually 6 weeks before your UK departure date. However, places are available on a first come first served basis so we recommend that you apply as soon as you can.
