Passport and Visa Requirements by Country
-
Peruvian Consulate Requirements
- AGENTS (DoD Acceptance Agents) must:
- Review visa requirements for Peruvian Consulates and Identify which consulate serves their geographic area using provided hyperlinks
- Submit visa applications directly to their assigned consulate
- Exception : If you're in Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, or Washington DC, send requests to Fort Belvoir instead
- No authorization letter needed from the main office for most jurisdictions (Notify PSD if there is a request for endorsement)
- Always check the specific consulate's website for their unique requirements
- Fort Belvoir users : Follow "Passport Matters" specific country guidelines for requirements
-
Foreign Clearance Guide (FCG) Priority
- Passport Matter website is not comprehensive but is set up to provide guidance to all countries highlighting those most traveled
- Always check the FCG (Foreign Clearance Guide) for complete requirements
- If there's a conflict between Passport Matters and the FCG: Follow the FCG and contact PSD with questions.
- When in doubt : Contact PSD Customer Service (usarmy.pentagon.hqda-oaa-det.mbx.det-ppv-customer-service@army.mil)
-
DD Form 1056 Block 19 Requirements
- Avoid vague purposes like official business or PCS/TDY and Provide specific details :
- What exactly is purpose of the travel
- Why is this travel necessary
-
Processing Restrictions
- Cannot apply for passport and visa simultaneously, Passport must be properly signed before it's considered a legally valid document.
- Passports without proper signature will be returned
-
Visa Withdrawal Policy
- Strict withdrawal process : To stop visa processing, applicants must Contact their DoD Acceptance Agent
- Provide written documentation (email)
- Include specific language acknowledging withdrawal and note the understanding of possible delay
- Have the DoD passport agent contact PSD Customer Service and Visa Section for action
- Reason for policy : DoD applicants are not authorized to engage the Embassy or Consulate directly for DoD Official travel unless notated on the requirements. Past problems occurred when DOD personnel tried to obtain visas independently without DoD endorsement.
- Strong recommendation : Allow the DoD Visa Team at Fort Belvoir to handle all visa processing and interact with all Embassies and Consulate even if it delays travel, rather than risk visa complications or denial.
