In addition, selectee must be in full compliance with the FBI's Immunization Program Policy Guide (0990PG).

By E.O., the Sec. of State is authorized and directed to exercise certain statutory powers of the President, to include the authority vested in the President by 5 U.S.C. governing the setting and payment of allowances, differentials and benefits for employees of all agencies serving in foreign areas. Non-foreign service agencies, to include the FBI, may be governed by more restrictive regulations or policies but in no case can any Federal agency authorize allowances, differentials or benefits greater than those authorized by the President through the Sec. of State, except as specifically provided in law. Benefits and allowances are constantly adjusted and may change between the time of a vacancy announcement and the time the selectee reports to post and may also change during the tour of duty. For a description of the most current allowances, differentials and benefits for a specific post, see the following: https://aoprals.state.gov. Locality pay cannot be authorized for FBI employees working in foreign areas (reference 319W-HQ-A1487698-IO Serial 217).
AREA OF INFORMATION: Information may be found at www.state.gov/travel, www.foia.state.gov, or www.usembassy.state.gov.
WORKING CONDITIONS : Applicant must be available for an initial 1, 2, or 3-year tour of duty, depending on the assignment requirements of the Legat office. A tour renewal may be granted for Legat tours based on the Division's management action, the HR Officer or designee concurrence, as well as relevant operational factors, and the employee's performance appraisal rating is at least at the Successful/Consistent Performer level. Some Legat posts are designated as R&R posts which allows the employee and dependents to travel to the post's designated relief area or the United States (certain travel regulations/restrictions apply). An employee will earn home leave days while assigned abroad, but it cannot be used until completion of at least 24 months of consecutive service (12-month exception for Iraq/certain hazardous posts designated by the DOS). USG-funded travel using this leave will only be authorized when a tour renewal is granted after completing the initial tour requirements. Tour renewal travel requires approval by the Legat, IOD and FFD. To meet the operational demands of the FBI, all employees are subject to TDY assignments anywhere in the world, or directed (involuntary) reassignments on either a temporary or permanent basis. This may include hardship posts while assigned overseas (per Corporate Policy Directive 0224D).
Employees must be aware that foreign countries are not subject to United States federal laws related to concerns such as disability access and anti-discrimination. While some countries afford legal protections above or commensurate with those provided in the United States, there are others which do not provide the same level, if at all. It is incumbent upon the employee to research applicable local laws if this is a potential concern. USG employment and facilities abroad comport with applicable requirements of United States federal law; however, the jurisdiction of the United States in this regard does not extend beyond the confines of its diplomatic facilities and employees must be aware and cognizant of local laws, customs and regulations which may impact their living conditions.

(DOS) and FBI prior to reporting to the Legat office. They must undergo a physical examination at a Government examining facility with satisfactory results and comply with medical requirements of both the DOS and FBI.

In addition, selectee must be in full compliance with the FBI's Immunization Program Policy Guide (0990PG). Failure of the selectee to follow all requirements for DOS and FBI medical clearances and to fully comply with the FBI's immunization policy designates an individual as "non-deployable" and may result in a denial of foreign travel and ineligibility for foreign assignment.
Possession of SCI access is a requirement to serve in the Legat Program. While applicants are not required to possess SCI prior to application/selection/deployment, they must be eligible to apply for SCI access and maintain such access throughout their tour.

Questions regarding an employee's eligibility for SCI access should be directed to their division's Security Office.

Employees and/or their accompanying immediate family members who hold, or have ever held, citizenship or dual citizenship in the country of assignment may be ineligible for diplomatic accreditation to that country. Failure to obtain diplomatic accreditation is grounds for rescission of a selection due to an inability to safely perform the duties and responsibilities of the position. The COM may also deny country clearance for any reason.

If the applicant withdraws from more than one Legat Program job opening after the 30-day period, the 180-day penalty will start from the date of the most recent withdrawal.
If an applicant withdraws after notification of their selection, he/she will be ineligible for any position in the Legat Program for 3 years from the withdrawal date. An applicant may request a waiver to the 3-year penalty period, if it was for a situation not within their control (e.g., medical issues or unforeseen family emergencies). Waivers must be approved by both AD, IOD and AD, HRD. (See: 0987PG, 4.1.4. Withdrawal)

By E.O., the Sec. of State is authorized and directed to exercise certain statutory powers of the President, to include the authority vested in the President by 5 U.S.C. governing the setting and payment of allowances, differentials and benefits for employees of all agencies serving in foreign areas. Non-foreign service agencies, to include the FBI, may be governed by more restrictive regulations or policies but in no case can any Federal agency authorize allowances, differentials or benefits greater than those authorized by the President through the Sec. of State, except as specifically provided in law. Benefits and allowances are constantly adjusted and may change between the time of a vacancy announcement and the time the selectee reports to post and may also change during the tour of duty. For a description of the most current allowances, differentials and benefits for a specific post, see the following: https://aoprals.state.gov. Locality pay cannot be authorized for FBI employees working in foreign areas (reference 319W-HQ-A1487698-IO Serial 217).
AREA OF INFORMATION: Information may be found at www.state.gov/travel, www.foia.state.gov, or www.usembassy.state.gov.
WORKING CONDITIONS : Applicant must be available for an initial 1, 2, or 3-year tour of duty, depending on the assignment requirements of the Legat office. A tour renewal may be granted for Legat tours based on the Division's management action, the HR Officer or designee concurrence, as well as relevant operational factors, and the employee's performance appraisal rating is at least at the Successful/Consistent Performer level. Some Legat posts are designated as R&R posts which allows the employee and dependents to travel to the post's designated relief area or the United States (certain travel regulations/restrictions apply). An employee will earn home leave days while assigned abroad, but it cannot be used until completion of at least 24 months of consecutive service (12-month exception for Iraq/certain hazardous posts designated by the DOS). USG-funded travel using this leave will only be authorized when a tour renewal is granted after completing the initial tour requirements. Tour renewal travel requires approval by the Legat, IOD and FFD. To meet the operational demands of the FBI, all employees are subject to TDY assignments anywhere in the world, or directed (involuntary) reassignments on either a temporary or permanent basis. This may include hardship posts while assigned overseas (per Corporate Policy Directive 0224D).
Employees must be aware that foreign countries are not subject to United States federal laws related to concerns such as disability access and anti-discrimination. While some countries afford legal protections above or commensurate with those provided in the United States, there are others which do not provide the same level, if at all. It is incumbent upon the employee to research applicable local laws if this is a potential concern. USG employment and facilities abroad comport with applicable requirements of United States federal law; however, the jurisdiction of the United States in this regard does not extend beyond the confines of its diplomatic facilities and employees must be aware and cognizant of local laws, customs and regulations which may impact their living conditions.
