Foreign Travel Security
Traveling Internationally
When traveling internationally, there are several things to take into consideration:
- Register your international travel: Be Connected, Safe, and Covered-Register Your Trip.
- Consult Penn Global’s International Travel Guidance and explore Travel Smart safety training.
- Remember that everything you take with you is an export, even if you bring it back! Consult Penn’s Export Compliance Guidance on International Travel and Collaboration.
- Consider how to protect your data while abroad: Data Security on Foreign Travel.
- Contact Penn’s Export Compliance Office if planning travel to comprehensively sanctioned countries.
- Check for travel advisories for you destination(s) at Travel.State.Gov.
Prior Notification of International Travel
For some federally funded projects, agencies are requiring prior notification and/or approval of all international travel, or international travel related to the project. If you have been notified that the terms of one or more of your research awards contain this requirement, please fill out and submit an International Travel Notification form at least 10 days prior to travel outside the United States. The form can be found here (PennKey required): International Travel Notification Form.
