Ladies and Gentlemen,
Since USNORTHCOM issued its travel advisory for Mexico our office has been overwhelmed with requests for information. I will try to answer everyone's questions with this one email. If you still have questions I have not covered feel free to call or email. 1. USNORTHCOM approves theater clearance requests. The US Defense Representative in a country approves country clearance requests. 2. Leave travel and passes to Mexico require a country clearance approval. They do NOT require theater clearance approval. 3. The country clearance is passive. That means you will request country clearance from USDAO Mexico City, but will not receive an approval message. USDAO Mexico City only sends messages for disapproved leaves. 4. The country clearance request should be sent by official message traffic. That means AMHS, DMS or one of many other systems. Contact your comms squadron, message center or local DOIM office for help. If you are isolated from a large installation and don't have access to a message center you can email the request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <msn://@mail.mar@/compose.htm?NW=true&mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . 5. Use the following format for your country clearance request: TO: USDAO MEXICO CITY MX FROM: YOUR UNIT AND BASE SUBJ: LEAVE TRAVEL TO MEXICO (TRAVELER'S LAST NAME) 1. Primary Traveler/Sponsor: [Give last name, first name, and middle initial; military rank or civilian grade; and citizenship and passport number or SSN.] 2. Other Travelers (eligible family members): [For each traveler, give last name, first name, and middle initial; relationship to sponsor, and citizenship and passport number.] 3. Travel Itinerary (List information requested for each country to be visited.): a. Dates and times of arrival in and departure from country. b. Locations to be visited within country. c. Mode(s) of travel between locations to be visited. 4. Purpose of Travel (Be specific: "Leave travel" is not sufficient.): [Examples of travel purposes: Death or illness in family (state relationship), marriage, adoption, visit to relative (state relationship), vacation (provide name of tour group or state "Individual travel."] 5. List persons to be visited in country: [For each person, give relationship to primary traveler/sponsor; address, and local telephone number(s).] 6. AT/FP Level 1 Training completed on: [Fill in date.] 7. Additional information required for clearance: must include the address and phone number of at least one specific person who can serve as a point of contact in country. 6. Ask your intel shop or AT officer for a threat update for Mexico and specifically the area you are visiting. You can also visit the Embassy website at http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/regional/regional_1174.html and http://mexico.usembassy.gov/. 7. Read our travel advisory - it's attached or visit our website at https://www.noradnorthcom.mil/j3/j34/. You must be on a .gov or .mil computer to access our web pages.
