Units can use the Visa Intake Forms linked below to collect relevant biographic, funding, and appointment information from scholars and unit contacts. Do not submit the Visa Intake Forms to ISO; they are for internal use only.
Visa Request Forms
To request UW visa sponsorship for an international scholar, units must submit an online visa request to ISO. Only an authorized staff member in the sponsoring academic unit may prepare and submit a visa request. A UWNetID is required.
