Countries as set forth by the Office of International Operations (0I0)
regarding International Travel requirements for FBI employees.
The following procedures are required to be completed
by travelers prior to official FBI travel overseas:
STEPS 1 AND 2 SHOULD BE DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY AND EARLY
COORDINATION WITH THE RESPECTIVE LEGAT IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED.
EFTA00005707

1. An EC to the responsible Legat office indicating intended travel to
its Area of Responsibility(AOR) with personnel information, the
purpose of the proposed travel, and as much detail as possible. One EC
is sufficient for multiple individuals traveling to the same AOR for
the same purpose. In addition to the Legat office, leads should also
be set to the region-specific operational unit in the Office of
International Operations (0I0) for informational purposes (see
Intranet FBI webpages for Legat AORs and OIO operational units),
the Security Division to request passage of the travelers'
clearances to the respective embassies, and to CIRG at SIOC for
the purpose of requesting inclusion on the SIOC Foreign Travel
Report.
2. Completion and submission of an electronic Country
Clearance (eCC) request through the Department of State (DoS)
internet: https://ecc.state.gov. Step by step instructions on
how to complete the eCC can be found on the (MO website:
http://oio.fbinet.fbi/Deployments/. Multiple travelers can be
included in the same eCC request as long they have the same
itineraries. The travelers are responsible for completing and
submitting their eCC requests via the internet.
3. Completion and submission of the Clearance Passage
Worksheet to the Clearance Passage, Contractor, and Law
Enforcement Reinvestigations Unit (CPCLERU). The Clearance
Passage Worksheet can be found at:
http://secd.fbinet.fbi/iss/cpcleru/items_clearance.htm. One
worksheet can be filled out for a maximum of ten people and can
be submitted electronically. This procedure is required to
forward your clearance to the respective embassy.
It should be noted that providing sufficient and
relevant information in the EC will provide the Legat office a
thorough understanding of the proposed travel should any
questions arise from the Embassy. The granting of the Country
Clearance is ultimately the responsibility of the Chief of
Mission at that embassy and the Country Clearance approval will
be coordinated by the Legat office.
When submitting the eCC, all information should be
unclassified. Thus, specific details regarding the specific
purpose of travel, the operational assistance or activity to be
conducted, etc., should be included only in the secure/classified
environment of the FBI EC.
EFTA00005708

IF THE PURPOSE OF YOUR TRAVEL IS SENSITIVE IN NATURE
AND SUBMITTING ANY INFORMATION VIA THE PUBLIC DOMAIN COULD
COMPROMISE YOUR REASON FOR TRAVEL, CONTACT THE LEGAT OFFICE
IMMEDIATELY TO MAKE THE APPROPRIATE ARRANGEMENTS TO OBTAIN
COUNTRY CLEARANCE.
Both the EC and the eCC are required to ensure all
parties involved in the granting of country clearances and the
coordination/assistance of the travelers' activities in-country
are fully coordinated and approved prior to the travel.
