    Is participation in 401k allowed on f1 student visa?
    Hello,

    I am currently working under my OPT hours on my student visa. My employer offers very good matching for 401K contributions and before I enroll I would like to make sure that there are no tax laws or other reasons that should prevent me from enrolling.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Yes, you can participate in the 401K. The match is "free money".
