Update to International Travel Guidance

As of September 7, 2021, Penn’s international travel guidance has been revised to allow faculty, staff and postdocs to travel to any location, domestic or international, without a petition. Faculty and staff on Penn-affiliated travel are required to follow existing internal approval processes in their departments, schools/centers, or business offices. Students and Penn travelers in a group of 5 or more are still required to petition for international travel to countries rated by the CDC as Level 3 or Level 4

In addition, all Penn-affiliated international travel must be registered in MyTrips. Registration in MyTrips provides immediate access to Penn’s comprehensive travel assistance program, including 24/7 medical and security advice, travel medical insurance, evacuation and repatriation insurance and more. Travelers are asked to set up a one-time profile in MyTrips before registering Penn-affiliated trips and accessing these important benefits. 

For more information, please review Penn’s International Travel Guidance or contact travelsafety@pobox.upenn.edu.
