Berkeley International Office

The Berkeley International Office (BIO) is a department at UC Berkeley that supports international students, scholars, and their dependents. It helps with visa applications, immigration compliance, orientation, and cultural adjustment. BIO provides resources, advising, and programs to ensure international members navigate the university and U.S. regulations smoothly, fostering a welcoming environment. Its goal is to promote academic success and personal well-being for those coming from abroad, ensuring they have the necessary information and support throughout their stay at Berkeley.
