Over 30 Years Experience In Youth Travel
Welcome to the world of Exchange Student Travel - a world that Bokoff · Kaplan has been a part of for over 30 years.
Students and their families face many challenges as they prepare for that all-important year abroad; passport, visa, fares, luggage, etc.
Bokoff · Kaplan has a full-time staff of Youth Exchange specialists who instruct, advise, and encourage from the time you register to the time you return from your exchange experience.
Bokoff · Kaplan provides students and families with:
· Extended hours of operation during the summer months
· Packets of instructions and documents
· Samples of completed visa and/or residence permit forms
· Information on electrical current and currency
· Information on baggage allowances
· Arrival information [to ensure smooth transition to your host country]
· Toll free number for questions and advice
Many students travel in groups. Some even have an escort. Often with groups, Bokoff · Kaplan personnel provide group departure assistance at the major gateway airports.
We hope you'll let us assist you with your exchange travel plans. We know you'll be glad you did.
