Pre-departure briefing

Getting a visa is a milestone, not the finish line. Our pre-departure briefing prepares you and your family for the journey and the first weeks abroad, with practical, destination-specific advice and time for every question.

How it works

  1. 1

    Register

    Once your visa is granted, register for the briefing for your destination.

  2. 2

    Attend

    Join online or in person, with your parents if you like.

  3. 3

    Take the checklist

    Leave with a written pre-departure and first-week checklist for your country.

What the briefing covers

  • What to carry in hand baggage and what to declare at customs
  • Arrival, immigration and getting from the airport to your accommodation
  • The first-week checklist: enrolment, bank account, SIM, registrations
  • Money: forex cards, remittances, TCS and budgeting in local currency
  • Part-time work rules and your rights as a worker
  • Academic expectations, referencing and avoiding plagiarism
  • Health, wellbeing and university support services
  • Staying safe, including common scams targeting new students

Destination-specific sessions

Briefings are grouped by destination so the advice is specific: registrations in Germany, eVisas in the UK, Tax File Numbers in Australia, and so on. We run them online and in person at our head office.

For parents too

Parents are welcome. We cover how to stay in touch, how to send money, what support the university offers and what to do in an emergency.

Meet students going to the same place

Briefings are a chance to meet other students heading to the same country or university, so you arrive knowing a few people.

Frequently asked questions

Is the briefing free?

Yes, for all Moksh students and their families.

When should I attend?

Two to six weeks before departure, once your visa is granted and travel is booked.

Can I attend if I applied without Moksh?

Our briefings are designed for Moksh students, but get in touch and we will see whether there is space.

Is it online or in person?

Both. We run online sessions for students across India and in-person sessions at our New Delhi office.
