Time to say goodbye

Before you say goodbye, make sure everything’s wrapped up smoothly! Get in touch with UVigo’s Euraxess Welcome Office so we can guide you through the final steps (contact information in the Euraxess Welcome Office section).

It is important that you inform us of your departure date so that we can prepare and email you and your home university your Certificate of Stay.

If you have taken a doctoral program, we will also need to send you and your university your Transcript of Records by email. It will be signed with a digital signature, which is an official and verifiable signature, so it is not necessary to issue the document on paper. It will be issued at the Postgraduate Studies Management Service.

If you have taken an additional course (e.g. at the Centro de Linguas) do not forget to request the corresponding diploma before your departure.

Remember also to arrange the return of your keys and deposit with your landlord, close your bank account, and cancel any internet, phone, or utility contracts. It’s also a good idea to check your tax situation, your Social Security rights, and notify the relevant offices — like the police station, your children’s school, if applicable, and the local council.
