Can I travel outside the U.S. while on a student visa?

Yes, you are able to travel outside of the U.S. while on a student visa in Washington. However, there are certain conditions that must be met. First and foremost, you must have a valid Form I-20 from your school. This document is proof that the school is keeping track of your student visa status and that the school is aware of your travel plans. Additionally, your visa must remain valid for the entire duration of your trip and you must have all the necessary documents, such as a valid passport, to enter the country you are traveling to. It is important to keep in mind that re-entry into the U.S. could be more difficult if you travel outside of the country. In order to come back into the U.S., you must have a valid passport, your valid visa and your Form I-20. Finally, if you are leaving the U.S. for more than five months, the Department of Homeland Security must be notified. If you plan to leave the U.S. for more than one academic year (eight months), you must notify your school and the school may decide not to issue you a new Form I-20. In summary, you are able to travel outside of the U.S. while on a student visa in Washington as long as you meet all the necessary requirements. Be sure to check with your school, the Department of Homeland Security, and the country you are planning to visit to make sure you have the necessary documents and information to ensure a smooth trip.
