The office of International Student and Scholar Services has a directory of all foreign consulates and embassies, with addresses and phone numbers, for your reference. Allow three to five working days for the office of International Student and Scholar Services to prepare new visa documents for you. You will also want to request a Letter of Certification, stating that you are currently a student at Binghamton University who has maintained valid status during your stay here. This will mean applying for a new visa at the U.S. consulate in the country you will visit. The office of International Student and Scholar Services has copies of Canadian Tourist Visa applications available for your use, as well as a list of countries which are exempt from Canadian Tourist Visa requirements.
Similar information is available for Mexican Tourist Visas.
The office can also provide you with the telephone numbers for foreign consulates in the U.S., so that you may obtain information on visa requirements for any country you might plan to visit. There is a new housing policy that takes effect this Fall for newly admitted graduate students. New graduate students will no longer be able to request University housing. Generally, most new international students do not live on campus. Last Fall only 15 of 208 new international graduate students chose to live in University housing.
