Direct answer: no. Rahu is not a visa officer.
The slogan
In popular Jyotish, Rahu is the foreign, the unconventional, the elsewhere. Traditional notes do associate the node with what is outside the inherited script: other countries, other crafts, other names. Association is not a boarding pass.
The nuance
Plenty of people with loud Rahu never leave the postcode and still live as foreigners in their own family. Plenty of people settle abroad with a quiet Rahu and a job offer. Practitioners may mention the twelfth, the ninth, the D-4, dashas. CapSage will mention them as tools, not as tickets.
Rahu rarely asks whether more is necessary. A country is only one kind of more.
What to do with the itch
Name the unprecedented thing you actually want. If it is a place, make a plan a human can execute. If it is a self, the Rahu-through-the-houses series is a better map than a rumour about airports.
Also in the house
Thematic company
Readers exploring this theme may also find these interesting. Similar weather across traditions is not proof that one system explains another.

Rahu means the unprecedented. Abroad is one costume. So is a new craft, a new name, a new hunger in the old postcode.
