As an F-1 student, do I need CPT authorization for an internship outside of the U.S.?

CPT work authorization is for the USA only.  If you receive an offer for another country, you will need work authorization for that country, either as a local citizen or by applying through the employer. If you leave the U.S., remember to let ISSO know.  Internships outside of the U.S. should only be during the summer semester when physical presence in the US is not required (check with ISSO)

The JSOM internship policy does not allow remote working.

- If you remain in the U.S. and request to work remotely for an employer in another country, this would require CPT authorization, and would be declined by ISSO as this is not for a U.S. based employer.  

- If you are in your home company and are working remotely for a U.S. employer, CPT authorization may be required (check with ISSO)

Please contact ISSO for any further clarification.
