Is it okay to ask for a virtual final round instead of onsite?

Hey all,

I’m currently in my home country due to a personal matter, and I’m literally on the opposite side of the globe from the U.S. I recently made it to the final round of interviews for a quant trading internship, but the last stage is an onsite.

Flying back just for this would be really hard (both logistically and financially), and I’m wondering if it’s okay to ask the recruiter if I could do the final round virtually instead. Would that be seen as unprofessional or hurt my chances significantly? Or is it something companies are generally understanding about, especially if I explain my situation?

Has anyone been in a similar position? I'd really appreciate any advice or thoughts!
