Out of Country Travel

When traveling abroad, members must consult the Dept of State Foreign Clearance Guide (FCG) for travel requirements. FCG requirements MUST be met prior to departure. 

There are a lot of great places to visit in Asia while on this side of the International Date Line. Below are a few considerations for traveling outside of the country: 

  • Members here on PCS orders will need to use leave orders and a CAC when transiting Korean Immigration, not their Tourist Passport. Tourist Passports will be used when entering/exiting visited countries (other than U.S.) 
  • Since Jeju is part of Korea, members traveling there via flight will use their Tourist Passport. Always keep a copy of your orders with you. 
  • Dependents & Civilian Employees will use their SOFA-stamped Passports when transiting through Korean Immigration. Tourist Passports will be used when entering/exiting visited countries (other than U.S.) 
  • Members must consult the Foreign Clearance Guide (FCG) for location-specific travel requirements. 
  • Typically, members will need to complete a Theater and/or Country Clearance Request through an APACS request and submit a Travel Tracker/Individual Antiterrorism Plan (TT/IATP) for all travelers in their party. 
  • Many countries have specific entry and visa requirements. Be sure to check that country’s official travel website for further details.
