Travel

International Travel

If you plan to travel out of the United States, you must first check your immigration documents to ensure you have everything needed to reenter.

If you are traveling to a country not your own, be sure to contact the Consulate or Embassy of that particular country to plan your visit and apply for a visa if you need one.

Canada is the closest country to us and therefore is a popular destination for all Suffolk students. If you would like to travel to Canada, please be sure that you check to see if you are required to obtain a visa to enter. You may also want to check with Canada Border Services to ensure that you follow appropriate rules around travel between the United States and Canada.

Please note: You do not need a valid U.S. visa to return to the U.S. after travel to Canada as long as:

You are entering in the same category for which you have an expired U.S. visa
You have not traveled out of Canada to a third country
You have been in Canada for no more than 30 days

Reentering the United States

Unless otherwise noted, all international students are required to have a valid U.S. visa in their passport upon return to the United States. If you do not have a valid visa, you may be denied entry. Find the U.S. Consulate or Embassy closest to you.

If you are traveling on an F-1 or J-1 visa, your Form I-20 or Form DS-2019 should have been signed within the past 12 months. If it has not been you may be denied entry or allowed to enter temporarily. If you have been given a temporary admission to the U.S. please see us immediately.
