*The above requirements are subject to change without notice and are also just a limited amount of information for each category. More than likely your visitor will fall into one of these categories but there will be exceptions that will need the advise of the General Counsel’s Office. Please make sure you know what status your visitor is entering on prior to their visit so there aren’t any reimbursement surprises.
