Foreign Travel CertificationPolicy and Procedures
Foreign Travel Certification Policy
Section 2.02(B) of the State of Texas Travel Allowance Guide states that a state agency may pay or reimburse a state employee for travel expenses incurred while traveling to or from, or staying at a duty point in a foreign country only if the agency's chief administrator (or someone designated by the chief administrator) provides prior written approval. This approval has been delegated to the applicable dean or vice president at the University of Texas at Austin.
Prior approval is not required for Canada, Mexico or U.S. possessions.
Foreign Travel Certification Procedure
