Page History

Passports are considered a personal expense (you can continue to use the passport after the specific event has ended) and cannot be bought using event funds. 

Visas for entering the country of the event are considered an event expense as you are buying a visa to enter the specific country for the eventand can be reimbursed through the event fund. 

• Tourism is the best answer to explain for traveling
• We've been told it is not a good idea to have one person buy all of the visas (especially for more traveling to more secure locations it draws attention to the visas)

For non US citizens with visas attending programs that have a fundraising requirement that have international travel during the event the participant is responsible to make sure they can get back into the county if they leave.  See Non US Citizen Event Acceptance for more information on visas and support raising for non US citizens. 

*If the participant is not a U.S. citizen, they can not get insurance coverage if they are traveling to the country of their citizenship. See Insurance for International Events
