Prepare the pack

  1. Copy the current official checklist into your notes.
  2. Match each item to the correct recipient.
  3. Check whether certification or translation is required.
  4. Use clear file names that identify the document type.
  5. Check every page for legibility.
  6. Keep the original documents separate from uploaded copies.

Ask the university about name differences before submission. Do not assume that a scholarship checklist also satisfies the university or Student Pass process. The official evidence below identifies the EMGS scope.

Passport and photograph requirements

Check the current EMGS passport and photograph instructions. Confirm the applicable passport validity rule before submission.

Common questions

Can I use one checklist for every application?
