Traveling During Your Stay
If you are planning a trip outside the U.S. during your program, please be aware of a few travel regulations.
  • Check your passport to make sure you have multiple entrances on your visa. There is a category marked "entries" on your J-1 visa. It should have an "M" marked in it. If there is a "1" instead of an "M" you can not travel outside the U.S. without applying for a new visa.
  • You need a travel validation signature from IAESTE United States. Please send the original DS-2019 form to IAESTE for a signature. It does not take long and the signature is valid for one year. Use the Travel Validation cover letter to send in your documents. You need to send it via courier and have a prepaid return envelope. Since this is your immigration document, you should track it. We do not want it lost. 
  • You can not be away from your training program for more that 30 consecutive days. If you think you will be away more than 30 days, please contact us as we need to know.
