Phase 1: Application

Yes, but you will need a valid passport early in the program, so if you are selected it is your responsibility to get a valid passport.

No. Just submit a scan/copy of both sides of your NRC.

You CANNOT submit your passport instead of your NRC. NRC is a required document; passport is an additional document that you may submit if you like.

To be eligible, you must submit your bachelor’s degree certificate. If you have a master’s degree from Myanmar, also submit that certificate. You can attach other certificates in the field provided (“others”).

Yes. Your degree certificate needs to be translated and notarized. If you do not have a notarized copy, you can still submit an original copy in Phase 1 and submit a notarized copy at a later date.

Official academic records are 

  • Your degree certificate (needed for Phase One).
  • Academic transcripts with grades from all the years attended (need for Phase Three)

Please submit the original version and if you move on to the interview stage you must submit a complete notarized English translation of your academic records from an authorized translation bureau.
