You should stay informed of State Department travel advisories for the duration of your time abroad. Travelers may request a custom safety and security briefing from International SOS prior to travel, using this form. Additional resources in support of the Policy may be viewed here.
We recommend that you confirm with a medical professional that there are no health-related reasons that preclude you from traveling. As a Yale community member, you will be automatically enrolled in the ISOS Travel Assistance Program. Please review the ISOS eligibility criteria, coverage details, and claim reimbursement procedures here. If you have personal health insurance coverage through Yale or another provider you should check with those providers for details of your personal coverage while abroad. MacMillan and Yale are not responsible for additional medical needs or costs not covered by ISOS and your own health insurance coverage.
Current Yale travel policy for students requires that they complete the travel self-assessment when making plans to travel internationally. All travelers must be prepared to follow all government regulations and guidelines for their destination(s).
You may be required to obtain visas before travelling to certain countries. If a visa is required, obtain it from the appropriate embassy or nearest foreign consular representative before proceeding abroad or consult with CIBT. Allow sufficient time for processing your visa application, especially if you are applying by mail. If you are a U.S. citizen, to see if the country you are travelling to has such visa requirements, please visit the U.S. Department of State website.
We also strongly urge all U.S. citizens to register with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country(s) you are travelling to as part of your grant or fellowship. For more information and to register click here. Non-U.S. citizens should register with the embassy or consulate of their own country.
You may need to be immunized before travelling to some countries. To have your immunization requirements evaluated please make an appointment to visit the Student Health (203-432-8148) as soon as possible. Travel consultations and vaccines administered in preparation for travel are not a covered benefit so you will be charged the full amount for these services.
Yale University provides ISOS Travel Assistance at no cost to all current students. ISOS provides international and domestic emergency medical, security and travel assistance services anywhere in the world. For more information and to print a ISOS ID card, please go here.
If you are a Non-U.S. citizen (except for resident alien for tax purposes under F or J visa status) and your research/study is conducted outside the U.S., there is no tax-withholding or reporting requirement. Since the tax laws are complex and may apply differently in individual circumstances, MacMillan staff cannot advise you on tax-related issues. International students should contact Daysi Cardona, International Tax Coordinator, with questions at daysi....@yale.edu.
Hi, this is not strictly about travel insurance but might be relevant here? We want to take our 15 year old with a Glioblastoma to Spain (he is no longer on chemo, is well and has had stable scans since diagnosis - and really needs something to look forward to after his GCSEs this year). Obviously we will need to find insurance we can afford but assuming we can, has anyone travelled to Spain with Keppra ? I am trying to find out what the regulations are and am struggling even to find a relevant contact at the Spanish Embassy in the UK to send an email to! Any advice welcome. Many thanks
I can fully understand that you would want to take your son away after his exams. I presume you have spoken to yours sons medical team and they have confirmed that it is ok to travel (travel insurers normally want you to confirm that you have the ok from the dr).
There is no problem with Keppra anywhere in the EU. Make sure you carry it in hand luggage and its in the original box with the prescription printed label on it. (I also carry a copy of the prescription re-order form), I've never been asked about any of my medication on arrival at my travel destination or on return to the UK, but its best to have copies of the prescriptions, just in case.
Many people who have cancer can travel without problems. For others, cancer or its treatment may make travelling more difficult. How cancer affects your travels depends on different things. These include the type of cancer you have and how it is treated.
It is important to get advice before you make any plans or book. You may have questions you want to ask your cancer doctor or specialist nurse. Or you may talk to a GP, practice nurse or travel health professional about your plans. They can tell you whether travelling may be unsafe or explain how to prepare and what precautions to take.
If you are still having cancer treatment, your healthcare team may be able to help you plan a safer trip. For example, it may be possible to change your treatment dates or arrange a break in your treatment.
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG) has information about getting advice if you are planning a trip abroad. It explains what care you should expect from a travel health adviser.
You may need vaccinations to protect you from infections before you travel to some parts of the world. If you have had a particular cancer or treatment, you may not be able to have some of the vaccinations recommended for your trip. This may affect where you can travel.
Travel insurance aims to protect you from losing money if something unexpected happens before or during your trip. It also makes sure you can get emergency medical care if you need it. It is an important thing to think about if you are planning to travel abroad. It can also be useful for some trips in the UK.
Some cancer treatments can affect your immune system and increase your risk of infection. These include cancer drug treatments such as chemotherapy, and some types of targeted therapy or immunotherapy.
Your risk of infection also depends on where you plan to travel. If you want to travel abroad, ask your cancer doctor for advice about your risk of malaria and other diseases that may be common in that area. You may be able to have vaccinations to help protect you from some types of infections in other parts of the world.
If you are flying across different time zones, your normal sleep pattern may be affected. This is called jet lag. It can make you feel even more tired. There is no treatment for jet lag. It should improve in a few days as your body adjusts.
Cancer and some cancer treatments increase your risk of developing a blood clot. Travelling also increases the risk of developing a blood clot. Particularly if you sit still for long periods of time during a journey.
If you have recently had surgery, your doctor will advise you whether it is safe to travel, or how long you should wait before travelling. They can also tell you if there is a type of travel you should avoid.
If you have had a breast removed (mastectomy), you may be concerned about what to wear on holiday. Organisations such as Breast Cancer Now have information about suitable holiday wear, such as post-surgery swimsuits.
It is helpful to tell travel companies in advance about any needs you have that could affect your travel. This includes travel agents, airlines, ferry companies and tour operators. It is best to talk to them before you book the trip to make sure the right support will be available.
If you are planning a trip abroad, remember to check the entry requirements of countries you are travelling to. Countries can change their rules for visitors without warning as covid or other infectious outbreaks develop.
Before you travel, check gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for information about current infections and outbreaks in other countries. You can also sign up for email alerts to get updates. For each country, you can check if you need to:
All travel carries some risk of infection. If you have a higher risk of severe infection, you may need to think carefully about this before you decide to travel. Your cancer doctor, GP, practice nurse or a private travel health clinic can help you think through the issues.

Part Five and the final posting in a series on what the new fundamentals of marketing mean to DMOs and destination marketing professionals as inspired by the recent McKinsey article: "The Dawn of Marketing's New Golden Age".
The Reality Check: As illustrated in a recent SKIFT article, the tourism and meetings/events ecosystem is not only economically enormous, its also complex. So its no surprise that when destination marketers of any size develop their business plans they are complex, often extending into 30-40+ page tomes in an effort to address all opportunities and constituencies. The inevitable impact of that complexity is fragmentation of limited resources resulting in the creation of a legion operating structures and relationships (often with disparate partners) that consume the two most important strategic leadership resources: time and focus. With the ongoing eruption of new tourism trends, brands, travel personae, partners, technologies etc, bringing order and simplicity to the destination marketing mission and process should be a quest for every DMO. Easy, right?
