To request a visit for foreign personnel to a USCG facility the requesting country must request 30 days prior to the visit, via their embassy in Washington, D.C., a foreign visit request via the Security Policy Automation Network. Include: POC at the XXXX embassy is XXXX. Upon receipt, COMDT (CG-DCO-I : International Affairs) will process the request and initiate the vetting process. With information from regional advisors and vetting results we will inform requesters when the visit is approved. For questions, please call 202-372-4493 or supervisor on 202-372-4470.

The visit should be in line with USCG international strategy. Please proceed with planning the visit as vetting can take a significant amount of time. Once vetting is complete we will notify you of the results and give final approval for the visit. Please contact CG-DCO-I if you have any questions.
