International Travel
Important information regarding International Travel
All employees and students traveling internationally as part of their employment or approved study shall participate in the insurance program per operating policy 70.10. Please review the policy at the following link and contact the Center for International Studies for more details.
The following are helpful tips for international travel. Please refer to OP 70.07 for the official policy regarding ASU international travel.
- A Pre-Approval must be submitted at least six weeks prior to departure.
- The Affirmation, Waiver and Liability Release Form must be attached to Pre-Approval.
- A valid passport is required for foreign travel. It is a good idea to make several copies of your passport; leave one at home and take a few with you to keep in different places in case yours is lost or stolen.
- Keep all required receipts (meals, lodging, transportation, museum/tour fees, registrations, etc.). All receipts must be original and itemized showing proof of payment (credit card slips are not considered itemized receipts).
- Use the currency conversion site, OANDA, to get up-to-date exchange rates. Credit card/bank statements will also show U.S. dollar amounts and conversion charges, if applicable. Conversions are based on the transaction dates.
- Please use the meal & lodging rates set by the US Department of State as guidelines for maximum allowed expenditures. Meals and lodging are based on actual expenses, within reason.
Please document any other expenses or unusual circumstances as accurately as possible.
