However, you must contact the Visa Branch of the Embassy of the country where you wish to travel to, in order to establish the criteria required to work or study in your chosen country as this differs from country to country. It is the responsibility of the individual who is travelling to establish if their iTEC qualification will be recognised in other countries.
